Description
2nd album from Washington DC area funk groupThe Soul Searchers. The main attraction here is “Ashley’s Roachclip” which features one of the smoothest breaks as featured in Coldcut‘s remix of “I Know You Got Soul.” But damn PM Dawn, I always think of their “ah. ah. Ah. Ahhh” shit. Beyond the recognizable break, the whole song (and album) is dope too. Limited coke bottle clear color reissue.
“Even if youve never heard this 1974 album, youve heard it. What do we mean? Well, the drum break from the song ‘Ashleys Roachclip’ is probably the single most sampled track in all of hip hop. Everybody, and we mean EVERYBODY, has used itRun-D.M.C., Eric B. & Rakim, and LL Cool J to name a few (and Public Enemy sampled ‘Blow Your Whistle’ for good measure). And when you throw in the fact that the D.C.-based Soul Searchers were led by the soon-to-be ‘Godfather of Go-Go’ himself, Chuck Brown, you can understand why Salt of the Earthwhich originally came out on the lightly distributed Sussex labelranks among the most collectible R&B albums of all time.” – Real Gone Music
