Numero Group
Spent a minute browsing through the record label Numero Group’s blog and had to share. In a previous post back in July 09 (check it here) I embedded a youtube clip I found on Soul Sides based on the fact that it incorporated some captivating images with an incredible soundtrack. Having since kept an eye on the blog and the label I’ve been consistently impressed with the material they produce. A archival record label that releases unheard recordings! A diggers paradise….
Light: On The South Side is a book and 2 x LP that is a showcase of Michael Abramson photography of the scene and the soundtrack of funky Chicago blues heard from the stage and the Wurlitizer 1975-1977. What’s lovely about it is that since being released people have surfaced that actually feature in the book and have stories to tell from the era adding the the uniqueness of this find. For example Helen Saffold’s story, Helen was a socialite, promoter, and impresario and could be seen on the scene on nearly any given night. The night this photo was taken is particularly significant. It was February 14, 1976 and the setting is a Valentine’s Day party at the High Chaparral that she sponsored herself. Even though she had been shot just a few days before during an attempted robbery on her house, she checked herself out of the hospital so as not to miss her own party.
Makes me wonder if there will ever be the equivalent for my era? The sounds of Plastic People accompanied by Vent Fury’s photography……
You can check out there catalog here and the blog here. As they are based in Chicago shipping fees are high so I suggest you check out what Sounds of the Universe have first here.

DIVA CHIC
Bought this track on Vinyl today. Sounds even better having this as a visual reference to Linda.
WHAT A FUCKING DIVA!! She looks amazing and is serving up a serious amount of attitude.
So this is Hip Hop, now I get it….
I don’t consider myself the biggest fan of Hip Hop so I find myself in unfamiliar territory. No matter what your preference if you cant see the talent being displayed on stage you must be numb or dumb. I know its an old clip but it’s the first time I’ve come across it so sharing is caring and all that…
