Boris Gardiner - Every Nigger Is A Star OST...
This is the soundtrack to the 1973 bomb of a film “Every Nigger Is A Star” performed by West Indian born Boris Gardiner. Thankfully the soundtrack hasn’t disappeared into complete obscurity like the film. This isn’t because of the jaw dropping nature of the title but because it’s damn funky!

The Pharaohs - Awakening (Scarab, 1972)

Kourosh Yaghmaei - 'Back From The Brink:...
Kourosh Yaghmaei and his brothers Kamran and Kambiz were amongst the few inspired Iranian musicians determined to change Tehran’s musical landscape in the late 60’s and early 70’s. The trio, armed with rented, second-hand instruments and records by The Ventures, The Kinks, The Doors, merged Western garage rock, psychedelia and Iranian folkloric music to create a sound unlike...

Phil Upchurch - Lovin' Feeling - Universal...
It’s a shame that none of the black guitarists after Jimi got much love from in the mainstream. Phil certainly deserved credit and he’s still kickin at 68. I thought this album would be a good indication of his skills. Ears open.

Bill Cosby - Is Not Himself These Days - Capitol...
A bit silly at times, but still pretty great! Bill Cosby teams up with old LA cronie Stu Gardner to do a set of tracks that are parodies of other big soul artists of the early 70s – and thanks to Stu’s good work with the music, most of the tracks work a lot better than you’d expect! The record leads off with some sly slinky Barry White parodies – including “Yes, Yes,...

Jerzy Milian - Orkiestra Rozrywkowa PRiTV w...
Funky genius from Poland’s Jerzy Milian — a vibes player we normally know in much smaller settings, but who sounds great here in an MPS-styled big band album from the 70s! The tracks are relatively short and punchy — all with some great rhythms and a fair bit of drum breaks too — so much so that the record easily sounds like some of the best sound library albums coming...
