As part of this 2 hour broadcast, we kick things off this month with some freshly discovered killer rarities from around the country. We head to Virginia for the Joyful Gospel Singers, Washington D.C. twice over for a pair of amazing, hard hitting funk cuts and to Detroit for the superb cut by the Friendly Echoes. Plus we debut the super rare drumled breakbeat funk of Prescott's joybells. 

 

For Pt. 2, we showcase the stunning catalogue from Virginia's Pinewood record label. Here's a snapshot of 18 recordings that makes this label one of the essential bodies of work to collect. From deep soul to hard hitting funk....dive in! 

 

For pt. 3, we head to r&b territory! Hard thumpers designed for the dancefloor, plus also the jaw droppingly good accapella 45 by the Wilson Brothers!
