Boogie Boys - Romeo Knight



After a few month hiatus I'm bringing you the third LP from Harlem Hip-Hop group the Boogie Boys "Romeo Knight" from 1988. The Boogie Boys had a hit in 1985 with the track "A Fly Girl"
a second album in '86 and soon after Lil' Raheim left the group and the duo of Boogie Knight & Romeo J.D. drop this album on their own. This may not be an all time classic but there are definitely a few nice tracks through out. Enjoy! Original vinyl rip @ 320 mp3.

The London Side Of Nashville - Third Coast New Wave


A little New Years Eve release for you all and something different. This is a private press compilation from Pollyfox Studios in Nashville circa 1982. It includes nine "New Wave" bands with about two songs per band. I bought this one nice and sealed but couldn't find much info online about the record itself. So I am deeming it rare and I'm positive it was a small pressing run but in all realness i didn't do much investigation of the bands featured. Definitely your early 80's synth tinged New Wave sound. My favorite stand out tracks are Video Widow by Sunshine Adams in which the female singer(I'm guessing Sunshine?) tells the story of her man who spent all of his money on VHS tapes and video machines and doesn't give her any attention anymore! Also I like the last track and the only single track by B.B. Gunne - Life In The Big City. All in all a nice mix of songs to fill your early 80's New Wave underground needs. I may have to do some more research on the bands and see if any of them or members actually broke into the mainstream. A definite different side to the Nashville music scene. Enjoy!
