In Reggae Time
Cinedelig/Jamdung proudly presents the first repress of the rare UK compilation In Reggae Time (originally 1970) as a limited-edition 12" picture disc. Unearthed from original 7" single sources issued around 1967 on Ember Records and its sub-labels, this repress collects exceptionally rare UK tracks that sit at the crossroads of late‑’60s British youth culture—only marginally reggae, they instead deliver a vivid fusion of mod, R&B, ska and northern soul with the era’s restless energy preserved i…
Coffy
On Coffy, Roy Ayers turns Pam Grier’s 1973 vigilante flick into a vibraphone‑driven fever dream, fusing slinky funk, string‑soaked soul and jazz finesse into a soundtrack that’s as deadly on its own as any of the film’s set‑pieces.
Woman's Colours
One of the most iconic Italian library music albums ever, Woman’s Colours by the Giancarlo Barigozzi Group (with Sergio Farina and Oscar Rocchi) emerged from Milan’s vibrant studio scene. Originally released in 1974 under the supervision of Fabio Fabor, it’s a refined concept work blending jazz-funk, jazz-rock, bossa nova and exotica, featuring Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes, fuzz guitars and expressive flutes, balancing groove and elegance. Over time it has attained cult status, now regarded as a cor…
Costa Sud
Five years after their radiant debut Ufo Bar, Italian cinematic funksters Banda Maje are back with Costa Sud to take us deeper into their land of ‘Salifornia’—a Southern province of sun-drenched coastlines and decaying buildings where dreams of exotic escapism sprout and bloom.
Once again, behind the eight tracks in the album—and behind the wheel of the fiery red Alfasud on the cover—is composer and keyboardist Peppe Maiellano. He has meticulously tailored each piece to his virtuoso partners in …
Heavy Soul Dance Party
On Heavy Soul Dance Party, Saint Tropez Orchestra boil their library‑funk fantasies down to pure floor business: 11 cuts of raw, four‑track psych‑soul and break-heavy grooves that sound like they’ve been beamed straight from a 1972 basement to your local sound system.
Thèmes et Atmosphères Volume Two
On Thèmes et Atmosphères Volume Two, Saint Tropez Orchestra turbo‑charges its fake‑soundtrack brief into a sweat‑slicked library‑funk fantasia: breaks, bass and Hammond‑driven strut custom‑built for crate‑diggers, b‑boys and imaginary 1970s spy reels.

Diana in the Autumn Wind
On Diana in the Autumn Wind, Gap Mangione turns late‑60s trio jazz into a Technicolor funk miniature: short, intricate charts, molten Rhodes, and a young Tony Levin/Steve Gadd rhythm engine that future hip‑hop would mine like sacred scripture.
Batteaux
On their self‑titled 1973 LP, Batteaux turn baroque folk into ocean‑lit folk‑funk: lush West Coast arrangements, sky‑high harmonies and proto‑yacht grooves that feel as Balearic as they do Laurel Canyon, somehow both overlooked and timeless.
Spacing Out
On Spacing Out, Shigeharu Mukai fuses spiritual jazz drive with vivid 70s fusion colours: bossa sway, tropical grooves, rock backbeats and fat funk lines orbiting his trombone in a confident, wide‑angle crossover set.
Heiß, Heiß / Funky, Funky
Here comes one of the most hidden 70s Cosmic Soul Funk vinyl 45 from East Germany. With the desire to bring the black Soul & Funk rhythm to the stages and dance floors of the GDR, a short-lived top band was formed after the dissolution of the Horst Krüger Band in 1976. Gotte Gottschalk and Petko Datschew formed the group Neue Generation. This group had everything it needed to take off quickly: first-class and experienced instrumentalists, composers, plenty of fresh creativity, and good connectio…

African Roll
A long-lost jewel of European Afro-fusion, African Roll captures the explosive meeting of African polyrhythms, funk grooves, and 1970s Italian nightclub culture. Recorded in Turin by the multinational ensemble M’Bamina, the album blends Congolese roots, Afro-Latin colours, and raw dancefloor energy into a spontaneous, hybrid sound far ahead of its time. Originally released in limited quantities and overlooked, it has since become a sought-after collector’s classic. This official reissue restores…
