Featuring the hugely sought after, infectious cut \"\u003cem\u003eQuit Jive In\u003c\/em\u003e\" and a fantastic cover of The Rascals' \"\u003cem\u003eJungle Walk\u003c\/em\u003e\", this is a double header of mid '70s funk fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Cuban record producer Manuel J. Mato's Sound Triangle Records in 1974, who had emigrated to the US in 1960, this scarce funk gem has long been a prized funk 45 find. DJs and collectors such as Keb Darge and Jazzman Gerald brought this to our attention in the 1990s, with the status of the track amplified by its inclusion on DJ Shadow \u0026amp; Cut Chemist's landmark 7\" DJ mix 'Brainfreeze'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDJ Shadow also used the drums and horns break to masterful effect on his track 'The Number Song' (1996) taken from his infamous 'Endtroducing.....' album on Mo Wax. Written by Ray Fernandez of Ray and His Court fame, \"\u003cem\u003eQuit Jive In\u003c\/em\u003e\" is a swaggering funk throwdown, dripping in groove and underpinned by heavy breaks and punchy horns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst on the B side, the rock-funk \"\u003cem\u003eJungle Walk\u003c\/em\u003e\" is a cover version of The Rascals' 1972 original. Penned by the singer, songwriter, and guitarist Buzzy Feiten, it wouldn't be out of place as part of the soundtrack to a Tarantino movie. Sadly, for collectors, this original 7\" has remained elusive to even some of the most hardened and dedicated diggers, so it feels a fitting release to re-issue for all to savor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50493021225291,"sku":"2224917","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a1257892373_10_6dd8d6c4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727695047"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/pearly-queen.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
