Vinyl FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/192 kHz | Duration: 39:15 | 1,66 GB
Genre: Funk, Soul | Label: Jackpot Records

All Analog Process (AAA) From The Original Master Tapes. Cut By Kevin Gray At Cohearent Audio. Lyric Sleeve Included. Ltd Feather Blue Vinyl Edition. In 1970, one of the leaders of the musical Mardi Gras Indian Tribes movement, The Wild Magnolias, became the first band to have a commercial recording released as a Mardi Gras Indian group. The band’s legendary performances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival also helped them launch into the recording of their 1974 debut LP—the self-titled The Wild Magnolias which we are so pleased to present to you here. Easily some of the most fantastic New Orleans funk and soul ever laid down on vinyl. Eight songs that don’t let up with its street-beat funk, call-and-response vocals (with lyrics like “just a few puffs to make you feel all right” leading the charge) and a recording that captures the unhinged mania of so many talented musicians crammed into a studio making a stone-cold classic.

THE BABY HUEY STORY: THE LIVING LEGEND is an audiophile necessity. Recorded in 1970, it is the only solo album by James “Baby Huey” Ramey. After his untimely death at the age of 26, Curtis Mayfield finished the production of the record and released it via his Curtom Records label in 1971. With tracks like “Hard Times,” which has been sampled by A Tribe Called Quest and Ice Cube, and gorgeous covers of “A Change Is Going To Come” and “California Dreamin’,” this album has become a cult classic among hip-hop and soul fans alike. In celebration of Black Music Month, this album has been cut from the original tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and is pressed locally on 180 gram premium-quality vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing’s brand new plant in Oxnard, California as part of Rhino’s new Rhino Reserve line.
