Description
Release Date Friday 15th November 2024
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection for that date.
Featuring the hugely sought after, infectious cut 'Quit Jive' In' and a fantastic
cover of The Rascals 'Jungle Walk', this is a double header of mid '70s funk fre.
Originally released on Cuban record producer Manuel J. Mato's Sound Triangle
Records in 1974, who had emigrated to the US in 1960, this scarce funk gem has
long been a prized funk 45 fnd. DJs and collectors such as Keb Darge and
Jazzman Gerald brought this to our attention in the 1990s, with the status of the
track amplifed by its inclusion on DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist's landmark 7" DJ
mix 'Brainfreeze'. DJ Shadow, also used the drums and horns break to masterful
effect on his track 'The Number Song' (1996) taken from his infamous
'Endtroducing.....' album on Mo Wax.
Written by Ray Fernandez of Ray & His Court fame, 'Quit Jive' In' is a swaggering
funk throwdown, dripping in groove and underpinned by heavy breaks and punchy
horns. Whilst on the B side, the rock-funk 'Jungle Walk', is a cover version of The
Rascals 1972 original. Penned by the singer, songwriter and guitarist Buzzy
Feiten, it wouldn't be out of place as part of the soundtrack to a Tarantino movie.
We can't think of many deep funk tracks we love as much as this beauty. Sadly,
for collectors, this original 7" has remained elusive to even some of the most
hardened and dedicated diggers, so it feels a ftting release to re-issue for all to
savour.
