The latest offering from Yann Vatiste's Epsilon imprint is a reissue of
"Rock Don't Stop" / "I Think I'm Falling In Love With You" the only single released by L.A. group TAXIE in 1979 on
Archwood. It was reissued in 2015 by
Melodies International
on a limited run 12". However, the new release contains alternative mixes
of the two sides. I've included YouTube clips of the original versions for
comparison.
"Rock Don't Stop" is boogie funk number with the flip "I Think I'm Falling In Love With You" being a sweet soul harmony ballad/stepper.
TAXIE were formed in 1978 by three friends Woody Whittaker, Ronnie
Arch, and Wayne Chatman who founded Cabfare Productions under which they
created Archwoods Productions and Archwoods Publishing. Adding
musicians/song writers, Charles (Ice Cream) Williams, Oneida James,
and vocalist Carlita Durhan (the original guitarist for the group
Taste Of Honey) they performed throughout L.A.'s Hollywood circuit as
TAXIE (Talented Artist Xclusively In Entertainment) opening for Stevie
Wonder, Dennis Edwards and the Mary Jane Girls.
The single is available
digitally for
£2 or on vinyl £17.50 incl.
UK
shipping or £22.50 with
international
shipping from Epsilon
