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".
