Harlem Underground Band / Mighty Tom Cats - Smokin' Cheeba Cheeba

This was originally released in 1973 on Paul Winley Records and has remained a cornerstone of the UK rare groove canon. It's loose, infectious and endlessly replayable, which is why it now repeats for this year's Record Store Day. Harlem Underground Band's' Smokin' Cheeba Cheeba' is funky breakbeat magic with wavering organ chords adding that retro touch and male and female vocals locked in sensuous back and forth.

On the flip, The Mighty Tom Cats featuring Ann Winley serve up 'Dance Girl' a driving breakbeat classic whose sharp groove would later echo through hip-hop as sampled by The Roots and Large Professor. A key moment in funk's evolution now back as a must cop 7%.
