Record 2712. #FelaKuti #OpenAndClose Record Store Day reissue of the 1971 Afrobeat classic "Open & Close" by the fantastic Fela Randsome-Kuti and his band the Africa '70. Tony Allen on drums who's beat practically greater an entire genre, later work with Damon Albarn on projects like Gorillaz, Good The Bad & the Queen and Rocket Juice & the Moon. A terrific quote from AllMusic regarding how Fela leads the band on this particular record "...as much as he liked to ride a groove, he also liked to disrupt it, twist it and turn it, reshape it, only to bring it back to it's original shape". #afrobeat #jazzfunk #jazz #funk #soul #worldmusic #tonyallen #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkies #recordcollection #recordstoreday2021 #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmd0tXuPaPI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Record 2510. #OceansEleven #Soundtrack I had to search hard to get this one given it's limited release, first time on vinyl, available on Record Store Day in the middle of lock down etc. When this movie came out I was already hooked on that Steven Soderbergh, George Clooney, David Holmes, combo from "Out Of Sight", which then continued through the Ocean's trilogy. Other than the funky as funk tunes, the intersection of movie dialogue suits David Holmes to a tee as per his album "Let's Get Killed" (which his track Gritty Shaker first featured on but now on this soundtrack became part of the heist vernacular). This record is a joy to own. #davidholmes #stevensoderbergh #funk #soul #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkies #recordcollection #vinyligclub #recordstoreday2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3AzRuJUUq/?utm_medium=tumblr

LORD SHANGO ‘ORIGINAL 1975 MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK BY HOWARD ROBERTS’

Somewhere amid the sea of pimps and tough guys, Blaculas and Blackensteins that came to characterize the films of the Blaxploitation era was a curious little oddity that defied classification. Not scary enough to be horror, too supernatural to be drama, with far too many animal sacrifices to be a romance, Lord Shango represented a solemn, contemplative, spiritual alternative to the sort of “exploitative” sex and violence-laden criminal storylines that gave Blaxploitation its name.

Released in early 1975, Lord Shango’s marketing materials painted it as a horror movie…but in truth, it’s a thoughtful, deliberately paced blend of genres similar in tone and cultural content (comparable to the spirit and feel of the 1973 film Ganja & Hess…and also starring Marlene Clark) and plays like a “woke” old-timey melodrama in the mold of the “race films” of the early 20th century from pioneering black directors like Oscar Micheaux and Spencer Williams. This racial consciousness is undoubtedly a manifestation of the Afrocentrism and Black Power movement of the ’60s and ’70s.

Writer Paul Carter Harrison, whose playwright background comes through in the literate, dialogue-driven script, was raised in a family that had roots in Marcus Garvey’s Pan-Africanism movement and the Gullah culture, and a couple of years before Lord Shango, he wrote a book about the imprint of traditional African beliefs on the black experience and the need to reflect this influence in the arts.

Released by Bryanston Pictures who rose to prominence by financing and distributing films such as the crossover porn sensation Deep Throat, as well as big horror & cult films like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Bruce Lee’s Return of the Dragon, the Andy Warhol productions Blood for Dracula-Flesh for Frankenstein, John Carpenter’s Dark Star and the animated Blaxploitation parody Coonskin.

Like the movie, the soundtrack showcases a clash of different “worlds” — musically speaking, that is. Three distinct musical styles run throughout the film, each serving to set the tone for one of the primary settings: gospel in and around the church, African drumming in the Yoruba village and jazz/R&B/funk in the “real world”. The music in Lord Shango is almost a character unto itself.

The man versatile enough to provide this vital musical accompaniment was accomplished trumpeter, singer, composer & conductor Howard Roberts…known for his work with icons such as Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin and countless others. Roberts had already released a couple of his own albums, including one that seems like a direct precursor to Lord Shango: 1968’s Let My People Go, in which he set traditional African-American spirituals to African percussion. As the popular saying goes: the right man for the job.

Howard Roberts put his musical expertise to use on the set of Lord Shango. But it wasn’t a one-man show, of course. Among the talent he brought was ‘Gospel All Stars’ member Ella Mitchell (Sylvester, Peter Tosh), Chief Bey (Art Blakey, Pharoah Sanders) and Howard Roberts’s own Chorale (naturally) who had already worked with greats such as Ahmad Jamal and Little Richard. Vocals were also handled by the prestigious Aaron Staples Community Choir…and Milford Graves (the trailblazing free jazz percussionist) supervised the African drumming, which was reportedly performed by a pair of “African priests”.

The soundtrack to Lord Shango has it all! Expect hypnotic Yoruba drums, call-and-response chants, spiritual belting gospel choirs with Doo-wop backings…to more contemporary R&B jams with an easy-going Al Green soul-vibe, blazing funk (the more ‘stereotypical’ Blaxploitation sound), an array of fantastic jazz permutations, soothing piano ballads combined with cool mid-tempo horns…and even ‘loungy’ Latin fusion jazz-funk. This album is a must-have piece of art that just begs for a place in every serious soundtrack collectors’ collection.

Originally released in 1975 on Bryan Records (the musical division of Bryanston Pictures) it has since then become a hard-to-find collectible record that fetches high prices on the second-hand market. Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the first official reissue of Howard Robert’s classic soundtrack to ‘Lord Shango’. This unique album comes as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition (strictly limited to 500 copies) with obi strip and featuring the original artwork. Also included is a double-sided insert featuring original movie stills and lengthy-exclusive liner notes by renowned Blaxploitation author Mark H. Harris. Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2021.

Let the countdown begin…available with participating record stores in Europe/UK on RSDROPS (June 12, 2021) !!! North American fans will be able to purchase the US version in July, 2021.
