SJOB Movement A Move In The Right Direction

Extreme Afro-Funk-Rock rarity. Aside from a few scattered blog entries, we’ve never seen this one given the attention it deserves. One track from their second LP was included on Soundway’s Nigeria Disco Funk Special compilation from last year.

Mebusas Volume 1: Blood Brothers

Yet another Nigerian rarity, this Mebusas LP gets its first ever reissue. Best known for their cut “Son of Mr Bulldog” which was made available on the recent Afro Baby compilation.

We’ve had a lot of new releases in stock at the store as well. For a full view come check us out in Brooklyn, but some highlights include the new Mortika box set on Mississippi, a new Michael Hurley record on Gnomonsong, the Circuit Rider reissue (private press biker insanity!), re-stocks on most of the Numero Group catalog, Sun Ra’s doo-wop years from Norton and tons more!
