Mr. T Bill Thomson Plays The Yamaha Electone E-70
Bill Thomson
1972 US
Jazz / Pop / Electronic / Synth-pop
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-10387115-1496456139-3575.jpeg.jpg)
Any album that has was made for a specific instrument (in this case, the Yamaha Electone E-70) has to be good. This was released by Yamaha themselves, as promotion for their new electronic Organ, which features automated bass lines and drum beats. This album has got some synth-pop cuts on it that I think are pretty great. Not to mention that killer cover art.

The South Side Movement – Southside Movement
1973, US
Funk / Soul
The band hail from Chicago, with no less than eight wonderful ingredients for your auditory pleasure: vocals (Melvin Moore), guitar (Bobby Pointer), keyboard (Morris Beeks), bass (Ronald Simmons), drums (Willie Hayes), alto saxophone (Milton Johnson), trumpet (Stephen Hawkins), and trombone (Bill McFarland). They started out as the backing band of the funkalicious duo, Simtec & Wylie, probably most famous for their glorious ‘Gotta get over the hump’, among others from the early 70s. However the pair parted company in 1973, which may have precipitated the move of their backing band to the Wand label where they secured a record deal. Their eponymous debut came out the same year (the first of three in total) with a rather fetching tablecloth advertisement on its cover. I’ll assume that the gentleman refusing to be part of a picnic hamper is the lead singer

A very strange record I happened to come across. No discogs listing as of yet, and I had to decipher the Japanese track-listing, hence why some songs on this rip are titled 'B1' or 'A6".
I also couldn't find a high-res image of the album cover online, so I tried to make my own by scanning in pieces of the album on my small printer. Makes me want to buy a bigger printer! The image in my youtube vids is the pieced together album art I created.
Excellent mix of Soul, Funk and Rock on this rarely seen Japanese wrestling record. Awesome stuff!
