Mr. Bongo releases limited edition Cymande 45rpms
The UK based label Mr. Bongo has just released two well-crafted limited edition seven-inch releases by Cymande, featuring four of the legendary British funk bands most notable songs.
One of the forty-fives consists of the the group’s most well-know classic “Bra,” with the jazz-funk groover “The Message” on the flip. Both tracks are from the group’s 1972 self-tilted album, considered by many as one of the greatest funk albums ever recorded.
The other seven-inch release includes the lesser known, but equally as good, “Fun” from their 1973 Second Time Round recording, and the 1974 soulful funk masterpiece “Brothers On The Slide” on the B-side.
Both records are cut from the master tapes and include a nicely designed picture sleeve. Both are great collector’s items that feature the group’s greatest recordings. Highly recommended!
