Men Music | Jeremy Spellacy – Crown Ruler Sound Lp

Don’T Be Fooled By Spellacey’S Lower Profile: Amongst Those Who Know, The Melbourne-Based New Zealander Is Widely Regarded As A Seriously Dustyfingered Digger, Capable Of Unearthing And Championing Ridiculously Good Records From All Four Corners Of The Globe. He Sells Some Of These Exceptional Finds Through His Crown Ruler Online Store, Though There Are Many More That He Keeps Hidden From The Public.

From Synth-Laden Zambian Reggae And Sumptuous Orchestral Afro-Soul, To Humid Trinidadian Boogie And Horizontal Italian Jazz-Funk, Spellacey Offers A Whirlwind Trip Through The Most Kaleidoscopic And Exotic Parts Of His Epic Collection. As You’D Expect From A Man Who Has Traveled The World Hunting Down Records, The Majority Of The 15 Tracks Will Be Unknown To All But A Handful Of Similarly Minded Crate Diggers. In Fact, Some Are So Obscure That You’Ll Struggle To Find Any Mention Of Them At All Online. This Could Be Your Only Chance To Own The Boogie-Era Reggae-Disco Brilliance Of Le Banda De Martin’S “Mi Dueno” And The Tear-Jerking Afro-Soul Shuffle Of Kosmik 3’S “I’M Gonna Pack” (Here Featured In Exclusive Jeremy Spellacey Re-Edit Form).

Highlights Come Thick And Fast, From The First Note To The Last. Check, For Example, The Wild P-Funk Of Acayouman’S “Funk Around”, The Dancing Marimbas And Undulating Grooves Of Feladey’S “Forest Music” And The Impeccable South African Jazz-Funk Of Stimela’S Sought-After 1983 Debut Single, “I Love You”.

Other Notable Highlights Include Ezy & Isaac’S Spellbinding 1977 Cut “Let Your Body Move (Oba Balu Balu)”, Seemingly The Missing Link Between Rotary Connection, Fela Kuta And Soundscape Disco, Devon Russell’S Inspired Reggaesoul Cover Of Curtis Mayfield’S “Move On Up”, And Mike Fabulous’ “Wang East”, A Sublime Chunk Of Summery Electro-Reggae From Spellacey’S Native New Zealand. We Could Go On, But We Don’T Want To Spoil All The Surprises. Suffice To Say, Crown Ruler Sound Will Surprise And Entertain You In Equal Measure.
