Description

Rare Original 1973 Bay Area Funk: Eugene Blacknell – Seaside EB-4114

Up for auction is a massive piece of Northern California funk history. Eugene Blacknell was an East Bay guitar pioneer, and this original 1973 pressing on his private Seaside Records label is one of his most sought-after singles.

If you are a fan of tight rhythm sections, wah-wah guitar, and that authentic mid-70s Oakland sound (famously sampled by artists like Beck), this is a foundational addition to your collection.

Tracklist:

  • Side A: Get In A Hurry (Vocal) – A driving, high-energy funk stomper.

  • Side B: Cousin John (Instrumental) – A legendary deep funk instrumental that remains a "holy grail" for rare groove DJs.

Condition Details:

  • Vinyl: The vinyl is in beautiful condition, visually graded as Very Good Plus (VG+). It retains a high-gloss luster with only the faintest surface marks visible under direct light.

  • Labels: The bright yellow Seaside labels are clean and sharp. No writing, no stickers, and no drill holes (see photos). The Richmond, CA address and the 1973 copyright are perfectly legible.

  • Matrix/Runout: Features the authentic "Alco Stamped" matrix in the deadwax, confirming this as an original pressing.
