Otherwise, nothing but goodness.. helping to distribute the Mutantes albums in the U.S., the Jackie Mitoo reissue, the Jamaica To Toronto comp, and -- playing right now -- the Karen Dalton "In My Own Time" reissue which is just killing me with beauty right now.
I try not to get into heavy reppin' for my neighbors here, but I'm really proud to have these guys operating within walking distance from me.

Also I thought the Free Design remixes were ill advised, and suffered even more from the execution.
Other than that, righty on.

This new Country Funk comp is so sweet.

yeah that looks great, i made a comp along the same lines a couple years ago, but LITA's seems much better.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 25 July 2012 14:48 (9 months ago) Permalink
other LITA release that deserves mention -- the amazing Kristofferson demos set from a few years back.
Do you have a link to your comp tyler? Curious to see what you would've put on there.

the country funk looks good! i have most of that stuff already, but it'll be a great thing for me to listen to in the last hour of the day at work when i finally have control of the turntable.. certainly looks a lot better than soul jazz's delta swamp rock compilations from last year--those mined a similar territory.

Most of the stuff on Country Funk is new to me, that's why I'm getting such good milage out of it. Not sure how it would be for people already pretty steeped in this stuff. I love this sound so much though, I didn't realize it was something I'd been aching for more of.

xxp oh i didn't post it or anything. but it had bobby charles / dr. john / jim ford etc. kind of like oddball southern rock, loosely.

gotcha, wasn't sure if i just missed it on your blog at some point

a couple unheralded records in this vein that i have listened to in the past week--

also suggested the s/t Country Funk LP on Polydor, which is actually not 100% countrified funk but also has some kinda psychy pop in there--same goes for the Muskrats "Progressive Country Sounds" LP on UK label Lucky (PYR subsidiary iirc; never seen anything else on it.)

PYE that is.
Country Funk is one of those bands that you see as the opening act on tons of old 60s rock posters, but I've never heard them. Will have to check them out.

also, though it does not have the same style as his work on the country funk comp, the larry jon wilson record that drag city put out is really really great and i try to recommend it whenever possible. instead of being soulful country-groove it is stripped down acoustic guitar & singing. recorded shortly before his death. he does some covers and a bunch of originals and it is great all the way through. his voice is amazing.

Pretty great call from the LITA folks. And kept me away from chasing those Rene 45s on ebay.

the s/t country funk album is pretty sweet. for awhile i got it mixed up with the s/t from the band country, the album covers not helping much at all either. i found them both for $1 once.

Yesssss. Can't believe Bobby Darin's track fits so well.

i have the darin rekkerd that is taken from.. it's pretty cool even if it seems like dylan aping sometimes.

Guys. They're doing an LHI Singles Box for Record Store Day 2:

So fucking cool. The fact that they put Honey Ltd. on there leads me to hope they'll reissue that album.

How do I get that thing? I've never shopped at a record store day. Do I have to wait in line or something?
And wow, that Jim Sullivan U.F.O. record is soooo good.

That Lee Hazlewood box set looks amazing!! I wish it wasn't a record store day release and something you could actually buy.
― JacobSanders, Thursday, 25 October 2012 05:19 (6 months ago) Permalink
oh man i would love a proper reish of the honey ltd. i have that 45 and it is so distorted
― whining boom (electricsound), Thursday, 25 October 2012 05:22 (6 months ago) Permalink
I'd recommend going to your local shop and asking them if they can get it for you. That's probably your best shot. It is kind of ridiculous, and RSD feeds into the Pokemon Record Collector mentality I really hate, but it is a pretty cool looking set.
I'm hoping LITA does a re-release after a while, like they did with last years Hazlewood Record Store Day release.

that box set looks great. I just got the LHI Years 2lp comp. over the weekend. between that and Country Funk I'm on a big Light in the Attic kick lately. they are awesome.

Wow @ that singles box. Pity my RSD-friendly local record store has just closed down.
