Here's what we had to say when \u003ci\u003eSoul Food Taqueria\u003c\/i\u003e was first released: It took a weekend outside of New York City, lying in the sun, kicking it in a row boat, for me to begin understanding where Tommy Guerrero was coming from. Tommy's debut, \u003ci\u003eLoose Grooves \u0026amp; Bastard Blues\u003c\/i\u003e, played over and over that weekend providing an excellent soundtrack for some serious relaxing. \u003ci\u003eSoul Food Taqueria\u003c\/i\u003e proves, even at first listen, that his albums are getting even better. Tommy has become a master of his music; the song structures are deeper, the production a little thicker. Laid back drums, straight guitar and bass- simple compositions prove to be the best. Layer upon layer of guitar is all over this in tracks like \"Tatanka.\" Although Tommy seems a specialist at instrumentals like \"Abierto,\" the vocal tracks also shine here with \"It Gets Heavy.\" \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=%22Lyrics+Born%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLyrics Born\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e delivers a strong message over a nice laid back, small-drum-kit groove in \"Gettin It Together.\" The overall vibe is refreshingly similar to Tommy's previous efforts and it's nice to know he's not gone all freaky on us.

It's reggae at its most soulful. Slinking through a tight ten tracks of R\u0026amp;B and pop-sourced material, it became an instant best seller. Sweet And Nice has appeared over the years with a revised running order and under different titles. But the original's opening sequence of loping soul is legendary, even beyond reggae circles. These songs are now returned to how they were presented on that first Jamaican release, and under their intended album title. Be With doesn't mess with magic. 'I Just Don't Want To Be Lonely' re-takes its rightful place at the end of the LP's second side... but Be With Records added an entire second record of rare material recorded around the same time as Sweet And Nice, much of it unavailable since it was originally released. Amongst these 14 extra tracks you'll find the exquisite late-60s singles 'Melody Life' and 'Mark My Word,' along with the sumptuous reading of 'Band Of Gold'.

They said it could never be done. And with good reason. Be With has spent the past 12 years trying to license this legendary 1968 recording from Gap and, after much work, it's finally here. Remarkably, this is the first ever vinyl reissue of Gap Mangione's Diana In The Autumn Wind, produced with the full and extensive participation of Gap. An exceedingly rare album, it's been coveted by funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop sample fiends for decades. It's unarguably the most sought-after album for J Dilla\/Madlib sample collectors. It has also been brilliantly sampled by A Tribe Called Quest, Large Professor, Ghostface Killah, Kendrick Lamar, and Talib Kweli. But this record is so much more than a sample-spotters curio. It's solid gold throughout. Bursting with killer funky-jazz grooves and tracks adorned with warm electric piano, the release is notable for featuring some extremely significant players at the very outset of their careers. Under the watchful eye -- and extremely attentive ears -- of Gap Mangione himself, the audio for Diana In The Autumn Wind has been carefully remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, with a few much-needed tweaks here and there, according to the artist's wishes. At the prestigious Abbey Road Studios, Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at the always stellar Record Industry in Holland.\" - Be With Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed insert w\/ liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Be With Records 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gap Mangione","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":43053121536090,"sku":"fr-5552","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/gapmangione-diana-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1778089440"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/collections\/bewith.png?v=1714066341","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/collections\/be-with-records.oembed","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
