Needle Time

  Alan Parker & John Cameron  - Afro Rock [BEWITH058LP UK 2019 24-Bit FLAC] Closing out this run of KPM represses comes this wonderfully pressed album of funk & rock instrumentals influenced by all things African, from Alan Parker (not the film director) and John Cameron. Ooodles of Hammond organ hooks remind us this is more seventies Britain than Africana, and it does bring to mind early Santana in places - which I don't mind at all.  Play loud!

  John Cameron - Jazzrock [BEWITH059LP UK 2019 24-Bit FLAC] Sounding like a whole blitz of TV cop show themes, comes John Cameron and the repressed version of his 1972 album for KPM, Jazzrock . Beautifully remastered for 180gm vinyl by Simon Francis and pressed by Dutch plant, Record Industry, this is one hell of an library album. Some of the very first albums I ever bought as a kid were TV and movie themes, it is now time to be whisked back to that golden era of non-politically correct, badly dressed coppers in sideburns and flares.  A1 49th Street Shakedown A2 Brass Monkey A3 The Great Escape A4 Chicago Sidewalk A5 Four O'Clock Earthquake B1 Underlying Expectancy B2 The Prowler B3 No Place To Go B4 Regular Progress B5 Smokey Joe's Dilemma
