Timothy McNealy
Funky Movement
This is not the RSD / Black Friday version.
Texas funk music is amongst the highest regarded styles in the genre, a unique mixture of jazz, blues, R&B and James Brown’s syncopation that evolved in metropolises like Houston (Kashmere Stage Band), San Antonio (Mickey and the Soul Generation), Austin (James Polk and the Brothers) and Dallas. Dallas birthed a variety of independent labels, Soultex and Doin Our Thing amongst them. But no one in Dallas, Texas or America, created a run of 7” singles like Timothy McNealy did on his Shawn imprint. When it comes to heavy, funk music, in Dallas – in Texas – Timothy McNealy is king. This means that when it comes to funk music, in general, McNealy is hallowed. Yet McNealy’s music has never been collected as an album, nor reappraised in its totality. A series of 7” single reissues have come out in the past 15 years, including his masterpiece “Sagittarius Black,” a psychedelic funk instrumental that has been a cornerstone in every fan’s rediscovery of the genre for the past 20 years. But this is the first time that his music is presented in its totality, giving the enlightened fan an opportunity to hear the breadth and depth of his Funky Movement.

David Axelrod
Earth Rot [Black Friday 18]
Limited Black Friday release available in store from Friday 23rd November. Any remaining stock will be available online from Saturday 24th November. [2LP] (gatefold, 28-pg booklet, never before released instrumentals, limited to 3000, indie-retail exclusive) INCLUDES NEVER BEFORE ISSUED INSTRUMENTALS! COMES PACKAGED IN A GATEFOLD JACKET WITH A 28-PAGE BOOKLET! Earth Rot is visionary composer/arranger/producer David Axelrod's third album, and the last of his Capitol trilogy. Recorded as a concept album about the decrepit state of the environment in 1970 Los Angeles, and scheduled for release on the first Earth Day, it features choral vocals and marks a departure for Axelrod's signature sound, which would take on a jazzier feel in the 1970s. This definitive version of Earth Rot, overseen by Now-Again's Eothen Alapatt in conjunction with Axelrod's Estate, fulfills a request Axelrod made while alive - to see the instrumentals of this album, never before released, issued. They see release here as the second LP in a 2LP set. This is an audiophile reissue, with the vocal version lacquered directly from Axelrod's original master tapes at Capitol Records by Ron McMaster. The master was approved by Axelrod's son Michael, who adapted ancient lyrics for the album in one of three collaborative projects he did with his father. Contains a 28 page booklet that delves into Axelrod's incredible life and music, replete with never before published photos and an interview. ''There are very few people who see the Grand Picture of the Universe and understand the Nothingness that it all comes from. There are even fewer who can express these ideas through music - David could do it all.'' - T-Ray A Side - The Warnings Part I * Part II * Part III * Part IV B Side - The Signs Part I * Part II * Part III C Side - The Warnings (Instrumentals) Part I (Instrumental) * Part II (Instrumental) Part III (Instrumental) * Part IV (Instrumental) D Side - The Sign (Instrumentals) Part I (Instrumental) * Part II (Instrumental) Part III (Instrumental)
