DICKY OLIVER Lp production by GIACOMO TOSTI. Original Italian promo-only pressing on RCA ITALIANA label (PSL 1051), from 1969. Killer, Italian-only release from this mysterious, ex-pat US Army (?) drummer living in Italy. His only recording and what a session... Obviously influenced by the funkiest James Brown sound with a brutal drumming technique similar to the raw, late '60s breaks and beats of Bernard Purdie and Idris Muhammad. Lots of hard boogaloo funk / gritty R&B and psychedelic Prestige / Blue Note label style hammond jazz, but delivered with punishing force. For us, still one of the best euro funk items of them all. Super-obscure cover versions of James Brown tunes like THE CHICKEN (comped on Easy Tempo Vol 5) / LET YOURSELF GO / PAPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW BAG and confusingly, an original composition called the FUNKY DRUMMER featuring explosive b-boy drum breaks. Superb, downtempo groove on HIGH AND LOW with jazzy flute solos and slow mo' Miles Davis 'So What' style riddim. No musicians are credited but he used a fantastically hard and heavy horn section on this recording too. Big production sound. Our soundclip opens with the infamous drum break sample from FUNKY DRUMMER followed by the full theme and several other important tunes. Great for DJs. Sleeve artwork to die for too :) Very rare Lp!!! Full track listing: THE FUNKY DRUMMER / SOUTH WEST (Jimmy McGriff) / BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX / THE CHICKEN (James Brown) / LET YOURSELF GO (James Brown) / BLUES FOR DICKY / GRAZING IN THE GRASS (Hugh Masekela) / PAPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW BAG (James Brown) / HIGH AND LOW (Milt Buckner) CANNONBALL'S THEME (Cannonball Adderley)...
Our record grading: SEALED / M- / VG++ / VG+ / VG
Vinyl is in shiny, strong VG++ condition overall with some hairlines. Some faded, old residue marks from compressed contact with the original plastic inner. Big production sound. Light surface noises, in places. The amazing psychedelic soul brother / afro funk inspired artwork sleeve is closer to M- condition and still in its original shrinkwrap. Just a mini touch of wear to the exposed corners on the open side of back sleeve. Some tears to shrink on back sleeve. Camera flash glare to sleeve and label photo. Very rare Lp!!!
