two weeks pass...
Ralph MacDonald- I Need Someone/Discolypso 12"

I Need Someone is a nice slow cooker-- really love it. Discolypso is a bit bland, but a good discolypso nonetheless.

TK is so terribly hit or miss, but when they hit, they hit!

The main thing to understand is the dichotomy of Reid/Clarke early 70's and Casey/Finch mid-to-late 70's of course.

if there is to be a taking sides George McCrae vs KC Shunshine version of get lifted, KC wins for me (and for most sampling the track too)

so pappa.
seeing as i know little re TK other than recent $tateside reisses, does this mean you like this set on the mix or not?
cos i reckon its rather wonderful myself..

I don't know every song on there, but most I recognize and like to a fair degree...and yeah, that mad dog fire track is incredible

After Ish's days with Joe Galdo in Foxy, Ish was also the man behind Oxo and later, Company B

eMusic just added the James Brown album, if anyone's in need of it. Classic.

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Sunday, 24 August 2008 23:31 (fifteen years ago) link

I believe Ish left a comment or two on Youtube accompanying the Foxy "Get Off" video a year ago or so.

ten years pass...

there are four TK Records threads on ILM, all started in the 2006-2008 period - those were the (groundhog) days.
they are all short threads tho, but this was the first, so here it goes:

Jimmy "Bo" Horne • Let Me (Let Me Be Your Lover)

what a sound, what a jam

Blick, Bils & Blinky • Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Friday, 5 March 2021 09:13 (three years ago) link

been listening to this one a lot lately too! root sample of stereo mc's "connected," which i also love.

andrew m., Friday, 5 March 2021 15:33 (three years ago) link

ahh the days i used to get TK Disco/Stateside reissues.

the compilation that they put out of Jimmys stuff still hits the spot.
