P. Funk All-Stars, 1983 … precursors, as ever … the full lp wasn't as great, but this 12" was & is … I was reminded of this classic by the sensational symbiosis of Stijn & Brzzvll yesterday …

The first two albums of You - "Electric Day" (Cain 1979) and "Time Code" (Rock City 1983) - have been reissued by Bureau B, both on lp and cd - with extra tracks on the latter format only - you can hear two of the six below. Sadly You's "Scanner" 12" (on black vinyl! Cain 1981) has been overlooked as a possible source for such bonus bonanza.

Hey! I'm dancing here! I'm dàncing here!

A doggone blisterin' comment on yankeeland, recorded in 1972 by the magnificent Jerry Williams jr, ladies & gentlemen! And hey reissue labels, how's about reprinting these two Swamp Dogg albums on vinyl - viz. the classic debut "Total Destruction To Your Mind" (Canyon 1970, gatefold!) and the ultra rare "An Opportunity … Not A Bargain!!!" (Wizard 1977)? Or how about a Charly 2cd that reprises "Uncut And Classified 1A" (CRB 1026, 1981) & "Unmuzzled!" (CRB 1045, 1983)?

With "1980-1984 The Ultimate Edition", Onderstroom has just released a magnificent 5lp Snowy Red box featuring the first three albums and two lp's worth of B sides, unreleased versions & demo tracks, including the 7" with Carol. Plus a 24 page booklet (7" format ). "Besides proto versions of "Blood blood blood", "Maud is dead" and "Deep desire", the main discovery is the 22 minutes version of “The wild boys”: an electronic trip you do not want to end!" I.M. Micky Mike aka Marcel Thiel, electronic wave pioneer - shockingly, he's not even mentioned here. Still:

The original of "Flash" is by the Duke of Burlington (pseudonym of Mario Battaini) and dates from 1969 (as released on Signal / Saar). The Tony Carrasco produced Italo remake on Proto dates from 1983. Val Merrall's cover version was recorded between 1970 and 1974 somewhere. It's off the "Gypsy Creams & Ginger Nuts - Sounds That Swept The Supermarkets (The Redifunk Of Rediffusion) (Mood Mosaic Volume Ten)" v/a cd on RPM (2007, cat. no. 328).
