I love 45’s. Not because they’re funky. Not because they’re full of unreleased b-sides. Not because they never seem to run out. But because they’re tiny little records. How can you not love a tiny little record? Kaewonder and I pull out some of our favourite finds, old and new, on our first all 45 edition of Cratery. As always, the odd numbers are moi and the even numbers are Kae. Recent finds include The Master Plan’s “Clinton Park” and a crazy version of “Wanna be where you are” by Zulema. Yes, Zulema. All 45’s. All heat. Cratery III people. Enjoy.

Nice mix genk’lemen, thanks
Yes Mr. Lopes.
I should let you know I am unfortunately no longer in your hood.
But that should not affect our ability to exchange heatery.
Hope all is well fam!!!
You can make a lot of mature West Indians really happy with that Brook Benton jam… Ace Cannon on the next mix???
is that Juice ‘Walk On By’ the same ‘Catch A Groove’ band?
LOL @ mature west indians getting amped on Brook Benton. I was thinking the same thing until Kae put me on to Dilla’s “Signs” which was an exclusive Donuts bonus cut that was released only on 45. Turns out Brook Benton ain’t just for mature west indian folk.
I don’t know anything about that Juice joint other than the fact it’s on Ebony Sounds records. The b-side is an uptempo track called “Jucie” which reminds me of something Brass Construction would have done if their first album had dropped in ’72 or ’73.
The Sylvers – “Stay Away From Me” = Ghostface Killah – “Be Easy”
Hollerate!
