5/6 Underdog Edits Jamie Principle "your love". An amazing edit this one- Just listen to it: in the notes he says " i wanted to make it easier to get into and build tension. The Reaction on the dancefloor to it is banana's! Give it a try and see! youtu.be/lRs2gQ9pPsk?... #raveyardshift

5/5 And here are the hard copies. Love that the Taggy Matcher track was only on 7". Quite hard to find but there's a dub version on the Stix records Reggae Disco Vol 1 Compilation that's freely available #raveyardshift
4/5 Captain Sensible "Wot" Not a version but it owes a huge debt to Rappers Delight. Listen to it without singing "he said wot!" See-you can't! #raveyardshift youtu.be/fj04rzn-Cxs?...
3/5 Taggy Matcher "Rappoors Delaaght" Reggae version of Rockers Delight with mashup acapella of Busta Rhymes "Woo- Ha !! Got You All In Check". There's a nice instrumental on the B side #raveyardshift youtu.be/9qLRAj_CRss?...
2/5 Morris Wilson "Beboppers Delight" Jazzy disco scat. The genre you never realised you were missing #raveyardshift youtu.be/LA9uCyhPpW4?...
1/5 Sugarhill Gang "Rappers Delight" But what about the crazy versions it spawned? #raveyardshift youtu.be/-XOaJ7JLsro?...
And here's the hard copies. Enjoy! #raveyardshift
Trans Mania "Boing Boom Jack" This was overlooked I think. Alexander Robotnick mix on the other side youtu.be/EqpmhE7DkL8?... #raveyardshift
Armando "Downfall". Hypnotic jacking acid. Cool. youtu.be/ESNZVhp4PiE?... #raveyardshift
Stakker Humanoid "Humanoid" Snowman Mix The best mix Respect to whoever set this to the animated Snowman. Like Dark Side of the Moon/ Wizard of Oz sync.. youtu.be/zaqj9jVUWs0?... #raveyardshift
Onirico "Stolen Moments" Italo house with a bit of acid? Crazy but it works so well youtu.be/pTbOCJkdhdM?... #raveyardshift
Variations on an acidic theme this evening. First up, Charles B "Lack of Love". youtu.be/fqgIDYwovjs?... #raveyardshift
I'm sure i have that somewhere
Bobby Konders 🔥
Haven't heard that before- cool
🔥
6/6 And here they all are. Bellisima 👌Couple of UK pressings tho. Nice red label Last Rhythm but sadly in the wrong sleeve. I love the TC 1991 cover- one of the most random choices ever, but I would love that little fish on a t shirt! #raveyardshift
5/6 FPI Project "Dancin feet" Geronimo mix. Overlooked track on "Everybody (all over the world)" youtu.be/lkkStRBzjx0?... #raveyardshift
4/6 TC 1992 "Funky Guitar" Sure Shot mix. Always loved this one. youtu.be/Pzi7ATslmzU?... #raveyardshift
3/6 Last Rhythm "Last Rhythm" Dub Mix. This is the mix IMO, there were two versions I think, red and black labels. youtu.be/IYKLO9f6mNY?... #raveyardshift
2/6 TC 1991 Intralazzi version. Always the Intralazzi version. Molto bene youtu.be/k0yzsBjiLvg?... #raveyardshift
1/6 Some choice Italo house classics tonight. No rarities, just beautiful dreamy tracks. First up Korda "Move your body" (Alex version) always the Alex version for me youtu.be/cJShcpWoAXI?... #raveyardshift
For sure. "You're Losing me" is one of my all time favourites. Those lyrics, her voice and that bassline. 🔥
I have a pressing of this where she reputed to have been drunk. It has a lovely slightly off kilter quality
😀
Never heard that before- cool! Such an evocative track. Time and place and all that #raveyardshift
#raveyardshift oops
#raveyardshift oops
#raveyardshift The hard copies (of course) Those Italians knew their stuff!
And also sampled Bill Summers "Straight to the Bank" youtu.be/iN5sRCzP8vs?...
which sampled: Caroline Crawford for the "go beyond her hair what do you see" vocals #raveyardshift youtu.be/nbxPa9Y39JE?...
FPI Project "Lets Go" youtu.be/B7mLZ1B1-bI?...
Tune
Mr Solitaire, nice
Tune
That Meco album was a hell of a find 🔥
The Flirts "Passion" Bobby O classic, one of the 12" mixes of this was absolute 🔥Love that artwork, I have a couple of US pressings and they aren't half as nice
I think that's why that time period was so special. One night you could be in a warehouse, the next you could be at a jazz funk night
Indeed- played it earlier after picking up The Mexican 😀
Well you def settled the Step Out/ Deh Bout/Demo debate!
Phil Asher ❤️
Pal Joey needs a thread 😀
Amazing!
7/7 May also travel back in time to 1991 and see what was blowing the speakers in the car that year. The hard copies anyway: #raveyardshift
6/7Sound Vandals "Extasy- What is it?" Warehouse posse in the place #raveyardshift youtu.be/SzbQJlcMU0I?...
5/7 4 Hero "Mr Kirk's Nightmare" "you better come down to the station house; your son is dead" #raveyardshift youtu.be/THCj2AJuNVE?...
4/7 Rhythmatic "Take me back" "with extra bass" LOL it really didn't need it in the first place #raveyardshift youtu.be/GGuSivJoMBk?...
3/7 Unique 3 "The Theme" Bradford's finest #raveyardshift youtu.be/hwyVNDIhxzM?...
2/7 Ragga Twins "Spliffhead" It is of course "Deh ´bout" but the debate rages to this day #raveyardshift youtu.be/_LNOMxqJUn0?...
1/7 It's 1990 and you're in your mates car. You're listening to a cassette taped off a pirate radio station. It's getting close to blowing the door speaker. Which one of these bad boys is responsible? Multiple choice: #raveyardshift
Great track but no, it's Boney M "Baby do you wanna Bump" Pt I and Pt II. 😀 For when you tell people they have been dancing to Boney M!
Im pleased with The Mexican
great album
Nice- Wax the Van, is the dub version Jon's dub?
Oxford
Pre #raveyardshift record shopping proving that the £1 bins still exist. A great haul of #disco
So many tracks to choose from but this has to be one of Roy Ayers' finest (and most sampled?) youtu.be/wfbZZByhu5E?...
Roy Ayers, what a legacy youtu.be/LvahMZLYwlU?...
That's really nice that one
Quadrant mix 😃
Cool, will check it out!
Yep
I need to check those comps out. Came close to buying a couple of times
Funny I dug this out this week wondering if it was as good as I remembered. It was. Big tune at the time.
Tune
Had a look on discogs, looks there was a sub label as well? That passed me by. Might need to investigate.
Dont know this, only the original. Will check out later, thanks 👍
I do love seeing pics of the physical records. Well thumbed. Creased sleeves. Seen some action. 😂
it's crystal clear to me
This rocks 😀
6/6 So respect to Supersound whoever you were. For your extraordinary taste and your dedication to quality. I wish I had bought every single one when I had the chance. Not available on Discogs which is a shame Anyone else have any of these releases? #raveyardshift
5/6 This short lived label expanded my mind, my knowledge and my taste. Some of these I didn't much like at first. Sometimes you need a decade to realise what gems they are. Like this one from Richard Wahnfried which is utterly bonkers. #raveyardshift youtu.be/OPDZrae3xl8?...
4/6 or maybe this gem? Shina Williams and his African Percussionists "Agboju Logun" Pure class. An often overlooked aspect of unofficial releases- I subsequently went on to acquire an official pressing #raveyardshift youtu.be/S56qsKhkzCA?...
3/6 Or how about this wild slice of euro afro funk from Supermax "African blood" With an equally wild video. Supersound were all double A sides but had an X side and a Y side which was a nice touch, adding to the mystery #raveyardshift youtu.be/9KBEQRICsbM?...
