“Space Flight”   Carlos Malcolm and His Afro-Jamaican Rhythms (“The Sound of the Soil”)   Carlos plays Trombone and (little did I know til just now) wrote most of the incidental music to the James Bond movie “Dr. No”     He had a big mid-sixties hit with his version of the “Bonanza” TV Theme called…”Bonanza Ska”   I like his song “No Jestering” a hit in 1974.   And who can forget his other million seller, “Fattie Bum Bum”.

“Acid”   Ray Barretto Fania Records   (1968)   A classic.   A well-know dance floor firestarter, but also a great cover worthy of another look.   Features “Acid”, “Teacher of Love”, “Mercy, Mercy, Baby”, “Soul Drummers”, “A Deeper Shade of Soul” –   the whole LP is an afro-latin, soul, funk and boogaloo fusion that makes you wanna move your feet.   “Have you heard them cooking / The Soul Drummers / well they play so cool / Soul Drummers / so hard to resist / Soul Drummers / with the African twist.”   A jewel in the amazing Fania catalog.   Drop “Acid” at your next party and see what happens.

The Mountain Man and Leroy!!   Mountain Tales Vol. 1   A rarely seen entry in the freaky christian ventriliquist and puppet genre.   This guy looks like he spent a little too much time in a cabin in the hills alone with his doll.
