Motown Around The World!
I just got hipped to the new compilation called ‘Motown Around The World’, where the ORIGINAL artists do their hits in other languages! I am searching for these on vinyl, so let me know if you can help!
Also check out THE PUTBACKS new 45, been playing them for a long time on the show. Their new record doesn’t disappoint.
Lastly, for the deep funk fans, I finally got my own copy of TIGHTEN UP 70! I play that in the show as well.
NOTE: Trying to get my podcast back inline with the DMCA, so that means no more enhanced podcast and I will be pulling the mp3 archives directly from the radio station. This means you may hear a bit of the previous show before I start!
