Hi Again Music Fans!
Well it's been less than a week since my last post (I hope you liked the mix). Tonight I am proud to present a mix from my good friend Vincent over at FuFu Stew! Vincent is one of the nicest guys here in our end of the Blogisphere. He's done me the honour of hosting some of my mixes as well as others from around the web, so it's only natural that I return that favour. By the way, make sure you pop over to his blog and congratulate him not only for his great taste in music and fantastic mixes but on his upcoming wedding as well!! Let me hand it over now to Vincent:
Greetings all you Shindiggit fans. I like 45s too. There's nothing like the sound of a good old dusty slab of imperfect vinyl. Here's a few all time faves and some new scores that I came across in the field, as well as a couple that were graciously loaned to me from some very good friends who appreciate my obsession for 45 collecting. Some of them are a little worn, but that only gives me incentive to dig deeper for better quality copies.
01 Shout And Shimmy-James Brown (King). Would you believe the first time I heard this one was when the Who performed it on none other than the classic show Shindig! That's part of the reason for the introspeak, which comes from an old VHS I had laying around.
02 Do It One More Time-Alvin Cash (Mar V Lus). I ALWAYS buy Alvin Cash records when I'm digging in the field. Here's one of the many incarnations of his classic homage to the Twine...
03 Shotgun-Jr. Walker & The All Stars (Soul). A timeless tune, but doesn't it sound so much better in glorious mono on a 45?
04 I've Got Just The Thing-Lou Courtney (Riverside). Just like Cash, I ALWAYS buy Lou Courtney records...
05 You Met Your Match-Stevie Wonder (Tamla). Here's one of the genius's many and varied deep album cuts which I was lucky enough to score on a 45 a couple of weeks ago. A pure funk bomb with the percussion brought up in the mix unlike on the LP...
06 The Chicken-Jackie Lee (UNI). Here's another highly sought after piece that I'm thankful to have found at long last. The next three are also pretty important to me in that respect...
07 Funky Boo Ga Loo-Jerry O (Shout)

08 Sang And Dance-The Bar Kays (Volt)
09 Sockin' 1-2-3-4-John Roberts (Duke)
10 20-75-Willie Mitchell (Hi). Nobody puts down a foot stomping performance like Poppa Willie. While this one's pretty common in the States, I had to pick up this Canadian pressing just because...
11 Don't Give It Away-Isley Brothers (T Neck). This one's a bit worse for wear but quite necessary as it uses a different (and slightly longer) mix from the LP.
12 I Can't Stop Loving My Baby-Linda Jones (Loma)
13 She's Looking Good-Wilson Pickett (Atlantic). Big ups to my friend Tony from the UK for putting this one in my mailbox. It's not often that you can find pre-70s Atlantic 45 issued in true stereo.
14 Day Tripper-The Vontastics (St. Lawrence). Here's a nice Northern spin on an old Beatles standard.
15 Sock It To Me-Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels (New Voice)

15 Sock It To Me-Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels (New Voice)
16 Hide And Seek-The Sheep (Boom). This is my new all time favourite 45. Just can't get enough of that driving beat. I put this one on specifically for Jason in response to the Shakey Jakes record he hipped us to a few months back. Some real blue eyed soul FIRE for your ears! Don't burn yourself now...
17 Drums A Go Go-Hollywood Persuaders (Original Sound). Thanks once again to the power of the internet, here's a fairly common piece which I later discovered is one of Frank Zappa's early recoded efforts dating back to 1964! I learn something new every day...
18 46 Drums And 1 Guitar-Little Carl Carlton (Back Beat)
19 Raccoon-The Rhythm Rebellion (Tangerine). This one I scored on the strength of the late Ray Charles's Tangerine label which also produced the highly sought after 45 from the Mod Squad. While I know very little about the group, the tune is well worth the price I paid for its funky rhythm (no pun intended here)...
20 Hey Mr. DJ-Bobby Moore & The Rhythm Aces (Checker). I wrap up with a basic Soul number, dedicated to all of the DJs out there, even armchair DJs such as myself as I'm still looking for the perfect gig. One day it will come, I'm sure...
Please download and enjoy this Shindiggit special, an mp3 file, 49 MB. Thanks to Jason for letting me hang out and share some of my dusties with all of you... Be sure to drop by and visit Fufu Stew for many more mixes. My number one purpose is preserving freeform for posterity. Have fun, be safe and as always,SHINDIGGIT! Peace and blessings.
