Here's a few of my recent 45 finds...
RICKY WILLIAMS "Discotheque Soul" EBONY SOUNDS RECORDS
I have been searching for this record for a few years without success, but I have been looking for the pressing on CITADEL RECORDS label. To be honest it was the only press I knew of until I spoke with DJ FORMAT who, being the 45 fiend that he is, told me that it was also available on
So I had tracked down a copy at long last, and as you listen I'm sure you will understand why I'm not so fussed about the slight skip on one side (which I can't even find at the time of writing this post). All I know is that these drums are tough, and there's no wonder MARLEY MARL rocked these for a BIG DADDY KANE classic. I'm not gonna tell you which BDK record, if you know your hip hop onions then this should be a cinch to answer!
I have also flipped the drums into a little sequence just to give you an extra clue.
EDWIN BIRDSONG "Rapper Dapper Snapper" SALSOUL RECORDS
I have this record already on a 12" and was searching for a cheap double to accompany it.
DAVID MATTHEWS "Star Wars" CTI RECORDS
I mentioned this record briefly above, but on looking at it in it's pretty yellow CTI sleeve it makes me think it was a bargain purchase for only
Now I have took the liberty of recording a second version including a little LOUIS FLORES style edit on the break itself, in the style of GRANDMASTER FLASH (this was one of his regular joints to play and cut up back in the day). It may sound a little cheesy at the start but the breakdown here is tougher than leather, with R2D2 noises over the drum break. That's dope in my book.
GARNETT MIMMS "Stop and Check Yourself" GSF RECORDS
These drums are chunky AND funky! I cannot recall how I found out about this tough to find GSF release, but I never forgot the name and then found two copies within a couple of months of each other both at knockdown prices.
There is no excuse for wack drum sounds in hip hop music as there are so many fat drums out there waiting to be found if you wanna put in some diggin' work. Fuck using module sounds, any numb nut can program drums from a module or a sample CD, but in my opinion that is straight up wack. Dig for your drums YO!
