I had to visit Rauma on work related stuff, of course I hooked up with few Plauge fellows to dig into Raumas crates on the same trip. Didn’t find anything super rare but I was clad to finally find Donald Byrds Caricatyres album and Love Unlimited Orchestra album Music Maestro Please. Along those found Mecos super long Star Wars disco tune. Also found Sesame Street Fever, funny record. I really like those old Sesame Street tunes because even those have been made for kids, they still have been made with good taste, to prove my point check this Pointer Sisters video: pinball number count. Lovely jazzfunk tune! However the Sesame Street LP I found didn’t include pinball number count tune but still had some funny disco stuff, check minimix!

When I finally got home from Rauma I put Sesame Street on the technics, hit record and played these five tunes without further planning or mixing, just to let you hear whats on those albums I got from flea markets. Thats what this blog series is all about, just to bring some funny five tunes to your ears to enjoy! First tune is from that Sesame Street disco album, do the pidgeon! Second clip is Barry Whites tune I Wanna Stay it is sampled by for example Q-tip to hes tune vivrant thing. Third one is my favorite, because it is produced by Mizell brothers, Donald Byrd – Dance Band. Now fourth one I found from Tampere, Bonus kirppis, it is a finnish translation from Allen Toussaints ‘Working in a Coal Mine’ tune that has been covered many many times, Lee Dorsey have made nice version of it: check. Last but definately not least! ‘Pigalelle jonoon vaan’ by Cascade, Lady Marmelade in finnish.
