DEATH IS NOT THE END - VINYL PURE WICKED TUNE: RARE GROOVE BLUES DANCES & HOUSE [VINYL]

Popis - PURE WICKED TUNE: RARE GROOVE BLUES DANCES & HOUSE [VINYL]:
'RARE GROOVE BLUES DANCES & HOUSE PARTIES, 1985-1992' - 'Pure Wicked Tune' is a mixtape-style collection of extracts and cut-ups, taken from DIY cassette recordings featuring rare groove and "soul blues" soundsystems playing at early morning house parties and blues dances - mostly in South & East London - between the mid 1980s and the early '90s. Sounds like Funkadelic, Touch of Class, Latest Edition, JB Crew, Manhattan or 5th Avenue and originally began to form in the mid-1980s. With lovers rock dwindling, and the reggae scene becoming dominated by harder digital-style dancehall, these sounds provided a tight but loyal crowd with a potent alternative - playing a mixture of killer rare soul, funk and boogie records in an inimitably reggae soundsystem style, complete with toasting, sirens and effects aplenty.
