Tracks
1. Chapparrals - Hittin' It
2. The Diddys - My Special Love (feat. Paige Douglas)
Super official rareness for Mukatsuku as they dig deep in their box of gems to unearth two stormers from the USA neither of which have either ever been out on a 45 before. First up from 1978 is Atlanta Georgia based funk/boogie group The Chapparrals which featured Cameo guitarist/vocalist Anthony Lockett with a track that kicked off the Holy Grail Shake Your Head album on the private label Maximillion . '' Hittin' It'' does exactly what it states on the tin as a monstrous funk groove ably assisted from a punchy brass section leads way to a swirling synth and bassline workout. The track on the flipside also never out as a single in it's own right is by The Diddys featuring Paige Douglas and lifted from the Agony And Extasy album from 1977 produced by Charles Earland for the Bam Buu label. Soulful Disco Funk with tight drums and an overload of lead guitar and that killer vocal melody that will stick in your brain for weeks... Strictly vinyl only. Mukatsuku says Records Are Our Friends
