Review: This rare groove hails from South London's 1984 scene. Produced by Jamaican-born Tony Williams, the mastermind behind the classic Funk Masters' "Love Money," "Checking Out" stands as a unique single. The track blends the soulful energy of MFSB's "Mysteries of the World" with a distinct British twist, capturing the essence of Brit-funk. A cool, instrumental flip-side completes the package. Originally released on the small Tai Wan label, "Checking Out" has stood the test of time. This fully remastered version, sourced from the original tapes, brings this essential Brit-funk gem back to life with a meticulously recreated label design.
Review: An exceptional EP showcasing rare South London British jazz funk, originally unveiled in the UK in 1984 by Tony Williams, a Jamaican-born producer renowned for his influential work on Funk Masters' jazz-funk classic, 'Love Money'. Resurfacing once more, 'Keep On Searching For Love' epitomizes the distinctive dub disco sound of 80s London, meticulously crafted with every element tailored to captivate disco enthusiasts. Featuring gated snares and captivating vocal performances by Linda Taylor, this track radiates with the brilliance of a supernova. 'Eastern Lady' presents an instrumental journey adorned with hypnotic basslines, drum machines, synths, and vibrant horn lines. Both tracks have been meticulously remastered from tape and are now elegantly repackaged for your listening pleasure. Keep the groove going!
