Wonderful

To be totally honest I don’ know to much of the band the record was released in 1977 by a small obscure label – Joel Records and the album was produced by Jack Conrad who featured with the artists from this album on previous work, some of which were apparently floor fillers in the early 70’s. The album is not rare   - I know that because my album number is 10885 and I’ve seen a few copies about on the web  but they cost of a pretty penny.

It’s a blue eyed soul / fusion album, think Tower of Power and Little Feat. It’s up there with my personal favourites and I don’t’ think I would do it enough justice, so I’d rather you go out and get a copy and decide yourself – it will surely be in demand soon.

VIPERS (PRINCE OF SUSSEX) - MIX RECORDED CIRCA 2003-04 

For those of you who thought NUTS TO SOUP was a site dedicated to boogie and disco music alone, you'll be glad to know that's not the case - for those of you that want to be the case, you should also be glad  - too much of anything is not a good thing, plus i would soon run out of boogie mixtapes to put up.

However too much of this mix can only be a good thing.   

Vipers or Mr T as he's affectionately known recorded this as a gift for his current wifeman*- which if i remember was around the start of the new millenia-Till this day this mix is up there with some of my favourites. I must have listened to it possibly about 500 times and i still don't tire.

It's a bubbly cauldron of blues, country, folk and psychedelia - with a bit of rock 'n or' roll 

WAVELENGTH (DAM-FUNK) - FUNK DREAMS/LIFE TURNS (7") - GLYDEZONE RECORDINGS (09) 

This 7 has been out now for a while released by the man with the huge gust of wind in his sails - Dam Funk. The record is released under his alias Wavelength and unless you are familiar with his work or his actual name (Damon Riddick) you wont realise it is the work of the man himself - until you actually listen to it (listen to sound clip below) - which explains why the only a 1000 pressed haven't sold out yet.  

G.B and The Tracks - My kind of Women/Dance to the music - Smash Disco (78)

Aptly, we move from a dance themed mixtape (if you hadn't figured it out) to an album titled Dance to the music. Gerry Bribosia who as far as I am concerned released probably one of the worst records I’ve ever heard – Dracula disco(see below) - released the album Dance to the music and the single above through the Canadian label Smash Disco in 1978 under the name G B and the Tracks a year after Dracula disco 

I actually haven't got a copy of the album i do however have a copy of the single above with the albums self titled track on the B side and on the A side a tune that when I first heard took me on a journey of love and hate and which eventually led to a full blown love affair. 

The track My kind of woman, doesn’t exactly typify the cheesy disco you could expect from that period, The first 30 or so seconds of electronic sounds don’t leave you guessing – you know you got a killah record on your hands – then it switches and Mr Bribosia rears his beautiful but annoying head In the form of his vocals, this pisses you off – well it pissed me off the first time I heard it – then after about 2 or 3 minutes of Gerry rambling on about a dancing woman – it switches again, its like the track started all over again but this time it goes on without the vocals and in those 3 minutes is when I fell in love with the track – it does switch again to G B singing but this time he sounds delicious.

ANDREW MORGAN

I feel priveleged and so should all of you who get the opportunity to listen to this. Andrew Morgan - Earcave - PPU - District Wax has blessed us with one of his "old" mixes - All the tracks have something in common

One mans old is another's man's NEW

Just to let you know i literally spend hours trawling through his record stores online, they're my homes away from home, i get this weird hunger for more as soon as i get off - only he can satisfy it - so i go back for. I know a few other record collectors in the UK that feel the same way.

I digress from the mix - i can only pick out 3 tracks i recognise, the rest of it is NEW to me.
