available: yes
item #: lp-3349

 quick audio picks:  1 2 3
Round 2 in Ubiquity's new series, just for the DJs. Milez Benjiman takes the A-side with both the main(1) and instrumental versions of his bubbly, squiggly electro-soul concoction, "All The People(1)." Flipside features two new tracks from two of Ubiquity's newest signings:...   expand review  Ohmega Watts comes with the crazy Afrobeat party track "Platypus Strut(2)," and Berlin's Radio Citizen get remixed by Hudson Mohawke on the spacey "The Hop(3)." -Chris Lemon-Red

Go Go: Live At The Capital Centre EP
 
I Hear Ya
format: EP

lab price: $9.00
available: yes
item #: fr-1591

 quick audio picks:  1 2 3 4
Original deadstock find of this live DC Go-Go record from 1988! And it was recorded at the legendary Capital Centre (the scene of many legendary DC-area concerts, WWF jams, and the infamous Heavy Metal Parking Lot)! You gotta love the totally 80s...   expand review  pic sleeve, complete with "go go" patterned record label. There's four tracks here from some big players in the go-go scene including Chuck Brown(1), Experience Unlimited(2), DC Scorpio(3), and Little Benny & The Masters(4). The quality of the music is debatable, if you're a go-go collector you'll dig it, as for the rest of the people outside of DC, check out the audio samples. An awesome timepiece nonetheless. -the mgmnt

Home Schooled: The ABCs of Kid Soul 2LP
 
Numero
format: 2LP

lab price: $20.00
available: yes
item #: fr-1577

In the early 70s, with the Jackson 5 blowing up, it seems lots of kids (or, more likely, parents) thought they could be the next MJ. From the J5's home state of Indiana to DC to Tampa to Chicago to LA, hordes...   expand review  of pre-teen soul and pop acts appeared, and Numero's done the digging to uncover the best. The lyrical themes are exactly what you'd expect - Patrizia & Jimmy urge 'rents to "Trust Your Child(1)," while Maryland's Promise admits they're "Not Ready For Love(2)" - the playing is far from juvenile. Just check the shuffling drums and strong vibes of 3 Simmons' "You Are My Dream(3)" or the rich, full-bodied funk on Cindy & The Playmates' "Now That School Is Through(4)." Also really feeling Atons' "Yellow Ribbon(5)" and the riotous instrumental "2009 Cherry Soul Sound(6)" from Jr. & His Soulettes. Detailed liner notes and tons of pictures as always. 18 tracks total. -Larri Byrd

Now-Again Re:Sounds, Vol.1 7x7" Box Set
 
Now Again

available: yes
item #: lp-3285

7x7" vinyl box set companion to Now Again's new CD comp. Not only are most of these tracks previously unreleased, but 8 of the 14 cuts here aren't even on the CD version! Many of the 7"s feature Stones Throw artists' tracks...   expand review  (from the CD version) on one side, with the original sample source on the flip - check out Guilty Simpson's "Before I Die(1)" backed with Egon's re-edit of the Heliocentrics' original(2). Madlib completists will wanna take note of Quasimoto's "Rapp Cats, Pt.3(3)" - I know dude has always been prolific but he's really pounding 'em out lately! Check out Koushik's sitar-and-tabla rag-out "Shooting Stars(4)" and the Truth & Soul remix of Amnesty's "Trouble Will Remain(5)," too. The records are housed in a cool flip-up slipcase (designed by Ligerfeld?), and each 45 comes in its own royal purple sleeve. -Chris Lemon-Red
