LOST LOVE - 60's Soul by Jens Chreisti on Mixcloud

Free Jazz & Spiritual Jazz

Back with more Spiritual Jazz & Free Jazz this update, an occasion usually appreciated by both Record Mania employees as well as customers. It's always a good combination to have records in stock that can calm our hectic Fridays, and some that should only be played out in a store that for some reason wouldn't want to attract more customers.

In the Spiritual section we have interesting titles like "Deep Stream" by Dawan Muhammad, Sun Ra's "Nuclear War", "Levels of Consciousness" with Babatunde and Phenomena, Roy Brooks' legendary "Black Survival" and one that we hardly need to write anything about but still feel we should:
Pharoah Sanders' "Pharoah" on India Navigation. It's been a long time favourite here, but we haven't had an original copy of this since the reissue (which has been in constant rotation since it came out) was released. Highly recommended! If you miss out on this one, the reissue is currently out of stock but should be replenished soon.

The Free Jazz department brings wild stuff of different kinds, like Igor Wakhevitch - "Logos", the monster "Alabama Feeling" by Arthur Doyle, "Instant Composers Pool" with Han Bennink, Misha Mengelberg and John Tchicai on the ICP label (that's not the Insane Clown Posse, although some similarities might exist?), plus nice stuff by Steve Lacy, Elton Dean, Marc Lewin and more.

Hello everyone,

Very strong update today if we may say so ourselves, lots of desireable 70s & 80s soul/disco/boogie, from the cheap to the very rare! Also a sprinkling of house & techno including some hard to obtain titles.

Let's start with the LPs: rarities as Patterson Twins "Let me be your lover" (with the full-length version of "Gonna find a true love"), Standing Room Only "Heart and soul", California Playboys "Trying to become a millionaire", killer Patrick Adams material by Caress on P&P, Sonya Spence "Sings love" (including the majestic "Let love flow on"), the Pulse LP on Olde World ("Sunshine" + "Baby I miss you"), evergreens from Timothy Wilson, Tommy Tate (featuring all-time favorite "I can't do enough for you"), Positive Change on Fortress, Donna McGhee "Make it last forever", Wilson Williams "Up the downstairs" (a must-have for the LP-only "I think it's gonna work out fine"!) and many more.

The 45 section sees modern soul gold as Pazazz "So hard to find", Jerry Washington's Miami rarity "Don't waste my time", Ron Henderson's 45 only midtempo masterpiece "Gemini lady", Aretha Franklin's "Wonderful" (maybe my favorite soul release this side of Y2K), Philly magic from Ebonys and Anthony White and one of the all-time great doublesiders in Solid Gold Revue's "She's so good" b/w "Come let me love you".

Among the disco & house 12"s and albums we find the awesome Mark IV doubleheader "If yu can't tell me something good" c/w "Take this love", Michael Wilson "Groove it to your body" (one of the toughest Prelude titles), Ty Karim & George Griffin "Keep on doin", Caviar's epic "Never stop loving you", two rare Svek 12"s from Stephan Grieder and a quadruple serving of Moodymann (including "Silentintroduction" and "Forevernevermore").

Jazz

After a couple of weeks of hip hop and rare groove we're back to jazz territories with a mixed jazz-update including nice Prestige and New Jazz originals (George Wallington "Jazz For The Carriage Trade", Prestige All Stars "All Day Long", Ray Draper "Same/New Jazz 8228" etc.), some Japanese jazz and a lot more in all price ranges.

4/2 - Hip Hop, Funk Jazz, Breaks and even more Hip Hop

This week we sealed the deal on buying a large part of Swedish Hip Hop DJ & producer Seb Roc's collection. The name Seb Roc might be mostly known mentioned in the same sentence as Sherlock, which is without a doubt one of the best Swedish Hip Hop groups of all time. You can tell he had good taste in Hip Hop, because there sure are loads of quality 12"s and LPs...
To make sure there's something for everyone, we'll spice it up with some classic breaks and Funky Jazz as well.

New releases and recent reissue arrivals worthy of special mention are the self titled LP by Reid, inc and the two latest from Superfly: Norma Jean & Ray J - Raising Hell and The Sound of Chief Checker.
