DICKY OLIVER

RICHARD "DICKY" OLIVER  
1969 Original Italian pressing on RCA ITALIA PSL 10451 
Original Italian pressing on RCA ITALIANA label (PSL 1051), from 1969. Holy grail, promo-only Italian-only Lp 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 rarest euro funk items of them all.
Super-obscure cover versions of James Brown tunes like THE CHICKEN  / 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; Miles Davis So What style riddim. The whole Lp is superb. No musicians are credited, PROBABLY FROM PYRANAS SESSION, but he used a fantastically hard and heavy horn section for this recording too. Still an unknown item to many funk collectors worldwide so check the long soundclip. Booming production sound with huge bottom end. Great for DJs. Very rare Lp
