Don't forget the soul funky cuts, "holes in my shoes" and "puppet on a chain", the mid tempo modern soul "you keep coming back", the X-over soul "my little someone", and the soulful ballad "don't let your pride, overpower your love"....

Every track is a winner on this album. Listen to the raw funk cut "rump bump", the magnificent x-over soul "loving explosion", the funky "give it up" that reminds me Kool & the Gang, and last but not least, the instrumental deep funk psych track "get satisfied" with its great flute and fuzz guitar solos!!! The whole lp is incredible, an essential soul funk piece!!!!

The record has a default on the track "night & day", there is little paper piece in the wax which makes a click during the end of the track but fortunately it's not a good one, otherwise the lp plays fine with no scuffs!!! The cover shows a little seam split (1cm) and a little tear on one edge!!!

This album is a bomb! Listen to the insane psych funk track "ego tripping" including some monster b-boy drum breaks, fuzz guitar, and terrific horn section.

Prophet - Right On Time SOLD

Treasure Records

Original U.S. press!!!
Woww!!! This album is easily one of my favourite 80's funk lp!!! This obscure band from California delivers this fantastic outsider electro funk lp in the early / mid 80's, their sound is really unusual. They use the DMX drum machine, digital synthesizers, electric bass, and guitar!!!
The mix is dirty, a real diy production!!! The lead vocals are crazy, the destructured DMX programming and the synthesizers work are really fresh, weird and this combination give a real identity to their sound. There is also some cool funky bass and guitar lines!!! Check the soundclip!!! Peanuts Butter Wolf's favourite!!!
The record shows just some superficial marks but they don't affect the sound. I use a conservative grading, some seller can easily grade this copy EX. It plays excellent!!! Wear on two corners but nothing serious!!!

Newban - Newban 2 SOLD

Guiness Records

Rare original press of the second lp from the soul funk band Newban on the desirable tax scam label Guiness Records from 1977.
Creative album from start to finish with a real positive vibe on each track. The horns' arrangements are crazy, the rhythm section is tough too, and the whole album is very well arranged!!! An essential lp for me!!!! Highly recommended!!
The record shows just two superficial marks but they don't affect the sound. The cover has a cut corner and a little split on another corner.
