 notes:

Released in 1976, Harvest For The World is one of 
The Isley Brothers’ most accomplished soul and funk albums 
of the mid-1970s. Issued on their T-Neck label as PZ 33809, 
the album combines socially conscious songwriting, 
sophisticated funk grooves, smooth soul ballads and 
the distinctive vocal harmonies 
that defined the group’s classic period.

The title song, “Harvest For The World,” became one of
 the Isleys’ best-known socially conscious recordings. 
Written by the six-member Isley Brothers/Chris Jasper creative team,
 the song addresses inequality, conflict, peace and the 
hope for a better world. The track was recorded at 
Record Plant in Los Angeles and features Ronald Isley 
on lead vocals, with O’Kelly and Rudolph Isley providing background vocals.

The album was produced by The Isley Brothers, with Chris Jasper
 receiving co-production credit on the title track. Malcolm Cecil 
worked as engineer and programmer on several recordings.
 The Isley Brothers’ combination of Ernie Isley’s guitar and drums, 
Marvin Isley’s bass, and Chris Jasper’s keyboards, synthesizers 
and clavinet created the polished funk-soul s
ound that became a hallmark of the group during this era.

 notes:

Davy Jones – Live At The Lucky Star is a rare Dutch 1967 
live soul recording featuring American soul singer
Davy Jones backed by the Amsterdam group Pocomania,
 the band previously known as HET.

The album was recorded live at the Lucky Star, 
an important Amsterdam soul club located on Korte Leidsedwarsstraat,
 on 29 June 1967, between approximately 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. A
 mobile recording unit from the G.T.B. studio in The Hague was 
used for the session, with John B. van Setten credited as producer.

The album captures Jones performing a powerful mixture of soul, 
R&B, blues and early funk, including versions of Ray Charles, 
Sam Cooke, Bobby Parker, Otis/Leiber-Stoller and other soul standards.

The LP was issued in the Netherlands in 1967 on Soul Sound 30.556, 
in mono/stereo editions. It is regarded by collectors as 
an exceptionally rare Dutch soul/funk/garage crossover LP.

 Prime Mates – Hot Tamales  Classic Dance &  Groove Review

 

 

 

Sansu records 1967  ‎– 465

notes:

Prime Mates – Hot Tamales is a dance and electronic music release 
that captures the energetic spirit of classic club culture. Built around
 engaging rhythms, dynamic percussion, and memorable melodies, 
the track remains an interesting listen for fans of vintage electronic music.
The production showcases the characteristics that made many dance 
records from its era stand out: driving beats, layered instrumentation, 
and a groove-oriented arrangement designed to keep 
listeners engaged from beginning to end.
For collectors and enthusiasts of electronic dance music, Hot Tamales 
represents a snapshot of a period when creativity and experimentation 
were central to club-oriented productions. Its rhythmic structure and i
nfectious energy continue to appeal to DJs, music historians,
 and fans exploring classic dance releases.
The Prime Mates only released one single 'Hot Tamales'.
They were a group of Sansu studio musicians possibly 
including Allen Toussaint on piano and Art Neville on organ.

Credits

Musicians

No contemporary source gives a complete lineup. The strongest 
published lead is that The Prime Mates were probably a studio-only
 group made up of Sansu session musicians, with possible participation by:

Allen Toussaint – piano (unconfirmed)
Art Neville – organ (unconfirmed)
This attribution comes from collector/researcher notes stating that the 
Prime Mates were “a group of Sansu studio musicians possibly including 
Allen Toussaint on piano and Art Neville on organ.

    Producer – A. Toussaint*, M. Sehorn*
    Written-By – Al D. F. Fayard*
