Diamonds In The Dust

Just happily re-discovered this killer ballad on Now records while thinning out the stash. Conveniently enough the flip is the drum heavy, hook-n-slingish, Portishead break havin' "Spin-It Jig". Smokey really laces this sparce but lovely arrangement. Smokey Brooks - Eternal

Treading on thin ice with another Motown edit. I obviously have a hard time just letting the classics be... Too Many Fish In The Sea (b.cause ooh edit)

Nice b-side tune by this spiritual Chicago jazz/funk group who studied under Phil Cochran with the Artistic Heritage Ensemble...some of the horn section went on to play later with Maurice White & Earth Wind & Fire. The Pharaohs - Freedom Road

Regardless, the little beaky didn't twit or tear; the eggs can be found here .

Here's an edit I made using a really slow but hard hitting Whitefield Brothers lp cut. Buy their album here. Dazz Band - Let It Whip (b.cause prowlin half time version)

Hella weird but entertaining Oakland based 80's R&B imaginary narrative from Mike Tyson's perspective...aimed at Robin Givens . Ronnie T. - Any Hair + Instrumental

Featuring Sheryl Kendrick. Smooth & Wild.... Charles Earland - I Will Never Tell (12" promo b-side)

Sharon Bailey - Cosmic Dust (12" instrumental)

Fire Fox - Fire (12" instrumental)

Gap Band - I'm Ready 12" version
