FOUND SOMETHING!! There is THIS version of Curtis Mayfields PUSHERMAN - only (far as I can tell) available on the music streaming site called Hype Machine.
When it comes to tune discovery, my main streaming source is usually Google play, followed by my own library of iTunes, cds, records, mp3s etc., because it’s always good to rediscover. MIXes and DANCE music - when I want underground, or long mixes, or house/dance I use SoundCloud. But then, more underground lies therein the Hype Machine.
THIS RANDOM bootleg version has been a Mf staple.
I just fished out my vinyl copy of Superfly (Curtis Mayfield) which I bought in Victoria maybe over ten years ago. Back then I was just getting into building my collection. I pulled it out of a stack, i got goosebumps as a friend passed behind me and whispered - that is a good album. And so it was bought.
yea. The album is awesome.
HOWEVER, like a good remastered track, the mix/blend/volumed are mega important if you’re comparing to the sound quality of today’s music. Who is UCP Berlin? And could the person responsible for the above version PLEAZE do the same kind of subtle remix of other funk songs? There is definitely a lot of material that could benefit with this kind of careful improving touch. Like finding a gemstone on the beach and shinning it up.
