Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Matt from New Orleans:

We now have a mass vaccination site and a hemp convention taking up space at the convention center this week. From the pictures I saw, people were wearing masks but I can’t see how it’s safe to be in an indoor public space like that all day long.

Hey there Doug

Doug Schulkind:

@Matt from New Orleans
I'm drooling over it, too. Virtually all the tracks come from the collection of a fellow in Durban, South Africa, who has more than a thousand 78rpm beauties, many of which have never been reissued in any format. The kindness and generosity of this fellow is gobsmacking. As is, of course, the music.

Doug's is way more interesting than mine

Is that the first time you’ve played Ohio Players from 1973 Kris?

Deacon John! is he still active Matt?
Avatar 🥁 11:02pm
Kris Holmes:

I think I've played Ohio Players before?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:02pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Yes indeed WR. I dislike him personally but his music is good. I’ve seen him many times. I believe he’s still the head of the musician’s union down here.

Oh man I think I'm settling into that place now!!!...good tune Kris!!!...:)

One of the great Hi Records productions.
Avatar 🥁 11:36pm
Kris Holmes:

Night Matt. Agree Danny.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:38pm
Little Danny:

@Kris: What do you think was used for its percussive "rain" sound effects? Conga drum? Muted guitar strings?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:38pm
Candy-O'67:

Night Matt
Avatar 🥁 11:40pm
Kris Holmes:

It was Electric Timbales, an obscure instrument.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:41pm
Little Danny:

Ah, cool, okay. Love how every acoustic instrument got electrified at some point, however briefly, in the '70s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42pm
coelacanth∅:

aka amplified timbales?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42pm
coelacanth∅:

is the pickup on the bottom head?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:43pm
Little Danny:

Hi coela! It sounded like there was more to it than just being wired with a pickup but I don't know.
Avatar 🥁 11:44pm
Kris Holmes:

No, it was a weirdo little electronic gadget of the time, basically a "timbale" synth patch which didn't really sound like timbales
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:44pm
Little Danny:

Or maybe I'm picturing Roto Toms.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:45pm
Little Danny:

Solid info, Kris, thanks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46pm
Little Danny:

Oh yeah Quiet Elegance! Love.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49pm
coelacanth∅:

funny, i've heard that song so many times but wasn't listening that closely this time (no reflection on how much i love the song)
now that i think about it i always just figured it was a synthesiser
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:50pm
Little Danny:

I'd be pretty stoked to find a clutch of Hi Records deadstock. Any copies of Ann Peebles's "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" in there? (My all-time Peebles favorite, I think.)
Avatar 🥁 11:51pm
Kris Holmes:

No Playhouse unfortunately
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:51pm
coelacanth∅:

^ from that same phenomenal album
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:54pm
Little Danny:

That era for Hi LPs! Some of the highest killer-to-filler ratios in the '70s soul LP game.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55pm
Little Danny:

"I Don't Lend My Man" was great! And new to me.
Avatar 🥁 11:56pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi was so great & were even late to disco so their 1976-77 stuff doesn't uniformity suck either
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57pm
Little Danny:

This Sunny 45 is also great and new to me. "Sitting In the Park" really got around.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:57pm
coelacanth∅:

haha
... it's good that not everyone has forgotten that most disco sucked!
