ROCK STEADY *SOUL HOUSE PARTY MIX*

SQUARE PEG IN A HIP HOLE VOL.1 (1967-73)

Since I started collecting records in the late 90s, I’ve always kept an eye out for diamonds in the rough. This has mainly been due to being skint, but also for the joy of finding a groovy little number buried on an LP of gushy ballads and MOR crud.
Most (so called) cheesy artists have at least one gem waiting to be discovered and that provides a constant drive for digging around at chazzas and car-boots.

Others are included here as although great artists in their own right, were at a point in their careers where they'd fallen out of fashion with the record-buying public and gone a bit psych/groovy/experimental. 
This normally resulted in them alienating their fan-base, getting ignored by the hipsters and falling between two stools.

So hopefully you can forgive the odd bit of over-singing or dodgy lyric and, as Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou once pleaded, listen without prejudice. 
These tunes run from 67-73, featuring psych, funk, exotica, baroque pop and freakbeat.
Vol. 2 will be covering 74-80, so I dare say we'll be heading down the disco.

ON AN AUTUMN AFTERNOON *AUTUMNAL MIX*

Second of two Private Press nuggets remastered & re-edited for your pleasure x

D.R. HOOKER - FORGE YOUR OWN CHAINS (JAMES MONKS PRIVATE PRESS EDIT) *Free 320kbps download*

*Now endorsed by Mayor of Detroit, Mick 'The Dirtbombs' Collins*

The seed of this mix was sown in the late 90's when I first clapped ears on 'There's A Riot Goin' On' by Sly & The Family Stone. I was DJ'ing a bit at the time mixing old soul and that in with dance records, which was a bit of a schlep (bloody live drummers).
So when I heard a drum machine (or ‘funk box’ as Sly called it) providing the rhythm for such warm, soulful songs I immediately planned to do a mix of ‘drum machine soul’.
It’s taken nearly twenty years to get around to it, but here it is x

James Monk - Warming Up The Funkbox

Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (Pressure Drop Re-Edit)
Shuggie Otis - Aht Uh Mi Hed
Cotillion - If You Give A Dance
Carrie Cleveland - Love Will Set You Free

DRUM MACHINE GOT SOUL *PRIMITIVE DRUM MACHINE SOUL/FUNK MIX*

LIVE AT THE SOCIAL *SOUL/PSYCH/DISCO MIX*

When Bobby Vee sadly passed away last year, I pulled out a couple of his late sixties albums I’d picked up over the years, dusted them off and gave them a spin.
'Come Back When You Grow Up' (1967) contained enough brilliant pop, and 'Gates Grills & Railings' (1969) flashes of baroque beauty *ahem*, for me to start having a thorough nose around his back catalogue.
My digging unearthed a few revelations, including a cover of a rare Northern soul tune and a supposed long-lost classic country album he cut in 1972, under his real name, Robert Thomas Velline.
So here’s a collection of tracks I’ve cobbled together, running chronologically from ‘67 to ‘72, touching on pop, soul, psych, baroque and the aforementioned, country y’all x

SOMEDAY MAN *SUNSHINE POP/NORTHERN SOUL/PSYCH/COUNTRY COMPILATION*

Re-edit of the mighty Dion B-side from 1968. 
Once described by DiMucci as either a love song, or an ode to drugs. I’ve dragged it down the latter path x

DION - DADDY ROLLIN' IN YOUR ARMS (PSYCHEDELIC SOIRÉE RE-EDIT) *Free 320kbps download*

These songs feel like they’ve been around forever; even the tunes I’ve only discovered recently (thanks to The Avalanches for Betty Everett’s glorious cover of God Only Knows). 
I think it’s down to how many spins they get in our house and that half of them were played at our wedding, so hold a special place in the old jam tart x

MAGIC SIGNALS *BEST OF 2018 MIX*

By 1968 Bobby Darin had become so disillusioned with showbiz life, he moved into a trailer in Big Sur and cut himself off from the outside world.

When he resurfaced, he’d traded in his tux n’ wig for double denim and a tache, and was armed with a batch of politically charged stoned grooves.

A lot gets talked about this country funk metamorphosis and rightly so, 'Born Walden Robert Cassotto' and 'Commitment' are brilliant, but there’s also some gems lurking either side of this period too. 
Like the lovely soft psych and haunted folk covering such dudes as Tim Hardin and John Sebastian from 1967’s ‘Inside Out’, and the blue-eyed soul tunes he cut at Atlantic and Motown before his return to Vegas in 1973.

So here we have a collection of songs coming from what Bobby would often call his “natural self”. 
Can’t argue with that can you?

SQUARE PEG IN A HIP HOLE VOL.2 'ECCENTRIC BOOGALOO'(1973-80)

These songs aren’t guilty pleasures, they’re a bit harder to describe than that.
Groovy or slightly odd records by artists that aren’t normally groovy or slightly odd?
Tunes by crooners or light entertainers that soulpsychrockdiscofunk DJ’s could slip into their sets without the dance floor noticing?
I don’t fucking know, but I do know that apart from the Marti Caine, all of these can be had for pennies and stand up with tracks and grooves by so called, hipper artists x
