TNT DISCOS Exclusive AFRO PSYCH FUNK GROOVES (El Salvador & Guatemala 45s)

Demo track by singer & songwriter Gary Taylor who wrote and recorded it in 1985, for a planned second album on A&M, but eventually gave the song to Alfie Silas in '86, and then a year later to The Whispers, who had a big hit with their version. 

" I did this demo back in the early 80's as the start of what was to be a second album on A&M records... but they said the song wasn't a hit. My Brother's The Whispers thought differently, and said yes we want to record it... and we want you to produce it... the rest is history. 1.3 million + copies sold and it's easy to see why A&M records is no longer around... like Scotty and Walter told me..."This song is timeless"... what a Blessing".

Shoot out to Gary Taylor, born Los Angeles, California, an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer.

Gary Taylor - Just Gets Better With Time

The Frightnrs escort Daptone into the world of long-playing reggae with both the sweetest and the roughest record of the decade.

Crafted under the meticulous eye of black-belt reggae mastermind/producer Victor Axelrod (AKA Ticklah), Nothing More to Say is a rocksteady masterpiece the likes of which has not reared it’s head since the golden era of Studio One.  However, you’ll find no imitation here - none of the faux-jamaican cliches of lesser reggae bands.  Like all things Daptone, this record is above all soulful and honest. With the exception of two soul covers (both from the Daptone catalog: Bob & Gene’s "Gotta Find a Way” and Saun and Starr’s “Gonna Make Time”,) the record is populated by original compositions of the highest order.  They are simply great songs, and though their treatment here is masterful, each one of them has the melodic and lyrical substance to hold it’s own in any genre. “Till Then” invokes the coquettish hyper-rhymes of top-form Smokey Robinson, while “Hey Brother” sounds like it fell off the desk of Gamble and Huff, and “Purple” defies any comparison at all.  From the first cracking snares of “All My Tears” through the final pulsing echoes of “Dispute,” the murderous rhythms of Rich Terrana (drums,) and brothers Preet and Chuck Patel (bass and piano, respectively) can be heard chunking mercilessly towards oblivion as Dan Klein pours his endearing poetry over over the top like some other-worldy falsetto potion. The combination is a sound birthday-suit raw, mesmerizing, infectious, and above all, lovely. This record will long be treasured by lovers of reggae, lovers of soul and lovers of love.

Radar Gaze

Very pretty folk/rock record by this all-female outfit from Canton, IL. Totally love the harmonies and the C86-ish guitar style. Think this is late 70s. Intrigued to find out what these ladies were influenced by at the time. Deb, the guitarist, was apparently in the Third Booth much earlier.
