Info

WRWTFWW Records is hot and sweaty as it announces the release of Bamboo Night, the steamy new album from French producer, Astral Soda Records owner, and illustrator, Albinos. The 8-song ambient house/cool jazz/deep chill electronic intimate marvel is available as a limited edition LP housed in a heavy 350gsm sleeve.

Originally self-released on cassette (25 copies only!), Bamboo Night, now polished and refreshed, is fully out and about on collector’s vinyl, offering a large display of chillout options for a sexy late summer and private moments of pure unadulterated bliss.

The sun-soaked album freely spreads its wings and glides from bedroom deep house to ambient groove and every beautiful thing in between, including but not limited to cool jazz to restore the soul, long-slow-deep breath downtempo, sweet eye gazing lofi pop, and an unexpected but mandatory ode to the Honda Civic. Albinos’ second album, following Santa Barbara (2016), is a welcome detour on stress-free seashores, a heartwarming reminder that small pleasures and cozy moments mean everything. Enjoy music, cherish life.

Release Notes:
Dive into the soulful world of Little Beaver with the long-awaited reissue of his 1972 debut
album, Joey. Released on Cat Records, this album showcases the unmistakable talent of a
musician who not only crafted the unforgettable guitar riff in Betty Wright's "Clean Up
Woman" but also delivered the #2 R&B hit "Party Down."
Joey stands out as a masterful blend of Rhythm & Blues, Soul, and a touch of Funk & Blues,
enriched by lush orchestrations that elevate each track. The album features the enchanting
title track "Joey," which was produced by Betty Wright, "I'm Losin' the Feelin'," later covered
by Gwen McRae, and the deeply evocative "Katie Pearl," adding layers of soulful resonance
that speak directly to the heart.
Before his solo breakthrough, Little Beaver was a revered figure in the Miami Soul scene,
known for his work as a bassist and guitarist since his early teens and as an arranger who
brought magic to the music he touched. This release not only showcases his formidable skills
as a guitarist but also highlights his deep, intuitive sense of songwriting that draws listeners
into the emotional landscapes of his songs.
This reissue isn't just a return to the shelves; it's a celebration of a profound musical legacy
that continues to resonate. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to his music, Joey by
Little Beaver is an essential addition to your collection, offering a timeless journey through
the depths of soul music. Don't miss the chance to experience this seminal album,
beautifully remastered to capture the original warmth and spirit of Little Beaver's early work. More

Release Notes:
THE 7000 DOLLAR ACETATE
The year is 1971, a time when nightclubs still had live bands perform the musical hits of the
day. Every city had its local stars and for the club scene of the city of Columbus, Ohio it was
the CROWD PLEASERS. Founded in 1968 by June Carey along with her younger brothers,
twins El & Al, the seven-piece band grew into an in-demand act that performed all over the
city. In April 1971 they went into the studio to record eight songs, but an actual release
never materialized. In time the master tape was destroyed and all that was left were two
acetates. But as time passed, these too were lost. Over the years, a growing market for
obscure funk and soul albums emerged. When one of the acetates went up for sale on eBay
in 2011, it sold for $3,900! Eleven years later, in 2022, the last remaining copy also appeared
on eBay. Collectors drove the price up until it finally sold for a staggering $7,000! So now,
after more than 53 years, Al Carey & Regrooved Records proudly presents the previously
unreleased 1971 album of the CROWD PLEASERS featuring renditions of hits by Marvin Gaye,
Sly Stone's Little Sister, Neil Young, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Cold Blood, Dionne Warwick,
The Lettermen and the original funk break track “Eggs & Bacon”. More
