Ira Raibon [2021] - Shake It Off (Live) / You’re My Dream (Live) [Epsilon #EPS007]


DJ Camembert, aka Yann Vatiste's, label Epsilon has just released two sides by Ira Raibon "Shake It Off (Live)" / "You’re My Dream (Live)" which were originally recorded live in 1978 at Beach Bum Burt’s in Redondo Beach, California July 23rd, 1978 with a group he was part of called Sweetalk and released on an album titled "Live!".

They are available digitally (£2) and on limited edition (300) vinyl (£17.50) from Epsilon website.

Ady Crampton recently (5 Oct 2021) interviewed Ira Raibon and posted the interview on his Shinyl.co.uk website. During the interview Ady plays many of Ida's early releases. Well worth a listen, a very talented and interesting guy!  Whilst your there check out the many other interviews Ady's done.

He was a member of The General Soul Assembly and Fabulous Souls (previously King George & The Fabulous Souls) and there's a great track on the interview of Ida playing sax on an instrumental of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" originally released as a flip side to "Take Me" in 1968 which was one of the first records used in hip-hop and the intro sounds similar to Miles Davis "So What" before it turns into a psychedelic funk tune.

I've also included a studio version of "Shake It Up".
