Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

This is the shiz.

still b/p:

Listening to the drumbeat behind the first Syl track in a slight isolation-of-attention way, it started to sound like something generated by an early synth. Or else the big cheater-chicken and baked potato supper I shoveled in is affecting me sonically

Hi Kris, hi all! Really dug "Well Oh Well"

I bought this in Seattle, not a city I usually find New Orleans 45s in.

"The Hunch" is my type of groove. Also, Pzazz was indeed a Gayten concern.

Kris Holmes:

Dan, thanks, I had to dust off some recesses of memories to pull that info out ha!

I was impressed! I had to google that shit

Also, Serato are sending me some 7" vinyl control records so I'll feel more comfortable DJing off my laptop when I do that!

enjoyed the paul gayten, only had heard his 45 'beatnik beat' before.

Well, shoot

p.s. Nicely done

that store is so depressing though
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
JtotheK:

@Danny - i browsed the paul gayten discography over at discogs, a lot more 45s than i realized! not sure how many would sound like 'beatnik beat' though.

always enjoy hearing this Pickett.

so different to anything else he did
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:05pm
Little Danny:

Some very nice Motown obscurities here Kris
Avatar 11:07pm
Kris Holmes:

Man, I haven't heard some of these in so long. You can scratch the surface of Motown, then scratch again & again & keep scratching & still find great stuff buried away.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:08pm
Uncle Michael:

This Ruffin has always been amazing to me. It sounds like someone waylay-ed it on the way to a Four Tops session.
Avatar 11:12pm
geezerette:

Powerful stuff. Irresistable.

Wow, this Creations is sooo cool. All I'd known by them previously was "A Dream."
