The disco/funkgroup Record Player were from Dayton Ohio. They only released one single 'Free Your Mind' in 1979 on the Gem City label which is now very rare selling for £800 if you can find one. It is a very funky killer track. However they actually recorded a whole albums worth of material which has never been released until now. 'Your Fantasy' , the Kool and The Gang influenced 'Magic', 'Funky Bone' and 'Nursery Rhymes' are also good disco funk tunes. The band disbanded in the early 80s and many of them joined bands including Slave, Aurra, Steve Arringtons Hall...

Blue Note mainstay Horace Silver recorded his ‘Tokyo Blues’ album for the label in 1962. Over 60 years later, this music still sounds incredibly fresh which is a testament to Silver, the other musicians and the incredible label which he recorded for over many decades. ‘Sayonara Blues’ is 12 minutes of pure delight, an uptempo jazz gem with Silver’s piano interweaving with Blue Mitchell’ s trumpet, and Junior Cook’s tenor sax, over a compelling beat that you just can’t sit still to. ‘Tokyo Blues’ is also a very strong hard bop shifter that is noteworthy. ‘Ah ! So’ is another...
