Here is a rare psychedelic soul-rock album I found in a thrift store, a DJ would kill to get their hands on this:

I'm not familiar with Mike Longo, but I do collect soul jazz, funk jazz, acid jazz, trip-hop, blaxploitation, crime-jazz etc
You may also be interested in Italian soundtracks, here is my review of a I Marc 4 collection on this site: |

Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the recommendation. I've heard those guys from a blaxploit compile. I think they have a full lp, right?
Anyway, we are on the right track....obscure, beat oriented music from the seventies, jazz you can dance to...speaking of blaxploit compilations, the one i have with the skullsnaps has a killer jazzfunk song "Like a Thief in the Night" from a musician Mike Longo. It's the only song I could find with his name on it and it was his only performance credit on AMG. Does anyone know anything about him? |

A big part of my reviews are on funk-jazz and soul-jazz music. I'm not sure how obscure you are looking for. Most really obscure stuff is on compilations these days put out by acid jazz labels etc.

Hi Rokukai, welcome to the site
I'm afraid I can't do much in terms of truly obscure, though one that is perhaps sometimes overlooked at least, is 'Skull Snaps' - a pretty good funk/soul/RnB album. Not really like James Mason, but definitely soul-ish, but I'm betting you've heard of them anyway  |

I'm looking for some obscure gems within this realm I've exhausted all the Prestige and Grover Washington and O'donel Levy records I can. I need some unknown, unheard of James Mason type albums. Anyone brave enough to recommend?
