It's no secret that the Italian scene of the 60s had a real love of bossa nova – but the work here is maybe a bit different than the more familiar jazz tracks of the time – as they were all recorded in northern Italy, in the Liguria dialect – which gives the lyrics a very cool sort of sound! The rhythms and instrumentation are all familiar – but the way the vocals come across is nicely different – sometimes a sense of pacing and timing that's different than that of the rhythms, especially when the singer might soar out on a vocal riff of sorts – almost creating a sense of counterpoint with the grooves in a really cool way! Instrumentation is heavy on great elements – plenty of percussion and guitar, plus organ, flute, and even a bit of harp at one point – on titles that include "Bom De De Bom Bom" by A gusto Martelli, "Arrio" by Natalino Otto, "Sto Ciccetton De Un Gioan" by Bruno Lauzi, "Bossa Figgeu" by Natalino Otto, "O Stracce" by Gino Paoli, "Sognando Rio" by Gino Paolillo, and "Ho Fatto Un Viaggio" by Roberto Arnaldi.A federal district court in Nashville, Tenn., which heard the suit, wrote that for much of the last 20 years the master recordings 'were shunted back and forth between various record companies without much regard for the artists' rights.' Titles include "Camuri Chico" by Conjunto Papa Upa, "Un Clavel Una Tarjeta Y Una Lapiz" by Los Kenya, "Papo Boogaloo" by Papo Y Su Combo, "Steal Your Love" by Rene Lopez, "Tokuta (Kid Gusto rmx)" by Jungle Fire, "Yo Voy Ganao" by Systema Solar, "Fantasia Latina" by Nelson Y Sus Estrellas, and "Mi Chica Se Vuelve Loca" by Carlos Hayre Y Su Orquesta. The set list is wonderful – and in keeping with Pablo's support of the global underground, there's also some contemporary cuts in the mix, but which sit perfectly next to the rare vintage tracks. Heavy Latin grooves – served up with plenty of funk, jazz, and soul in the mix – and put together as a collection that's even better than the first volume in this series! DJ Pablo Yglesias seems to get sharper ears each time we tune into one of his projects – and this time around, he's come up with a massive batch of Latin tracks that goes way past the obvious – to include some really rare gems that move past the usual Fania classics. Early 60s soul and rollicking R&B sides to rival the best and most exciting sounds of the era – compiled by DJ Mr Fine Wine, most of which have never been reissued before now! Includes "Gibble Gobble" by Willie Wright & His Sparklers, "Broadway" by Hank Ballard, "What Makes You So Cold" by Lulu Reed, "My Nerves" by Little Willie John, "The Slummer The Slum" by The 5 Royales, "I Don't Know About You" by Lloyd Nolan, "Where You At Jack" by Little Mummy, "That's It Man" by The Valentines, "Mind Your Own Business" by Eugene Church, "Regardless" by Charles Brown, "Texas Oil" by Freddie King", "One Zippy Zam" by Roy Mildton & His Orchestra, "Mom, Won't You Teach Me To Monkey" by Little Emmett Suttoon, "Hog Killin Time" by Eddie Kirk and more. CDĪ treasure box of early 60s R&B 45s – a top shelf collection of singles cut for the King & Federal labels from 1960 to 1964 – amazing numbers from Hank Ballard, Freddy King, The Drivers, Little Bobby Moore, Willie Dixon & The Big Wheels, Johnny Guitar Watson, Carol Ford, Little Willie John and more.

Raw, raunchy sounds – all pulled together from a time before soul and rock even existed! Most of the work here is from the classic catalog of King Records – a killer imprint in the postwar R&B market, and a company who wasn't afraid to do what it took to make a knockout record! In the case of these tracks, the singers often hit some fairly suggestive material – often hidden in early 50s innuendo, but barely so – with a vibe that's often nastier than even the most hardcore rockabilly sounds to come! The music here has its roots in blues, but is inflected with plenty of jazz, and the presence of the singers often point the way towards soul music – especially the James Brown crowd that would later rise at the same label.
