Hot Bush LP (1980, APA/TK) Has anyone heard this?

**neonlights** · December 3rd, 2006, 06:11 AM

I was checking the new CD releases on Dusty Groove a little while back and came across this oddity.. Apparently a disco/funk album from 1980 on the TK/APA label, produced by an Oscar Llord with vocals by someone named Bobby Bushe.. It seems to me like the CD reissue is a bootleg, but still, seems like an interesting choice for a reissue; there's next to no info about this album on the web..

Just wondering if anyone here has heard this LP and if it's any good..

It's most definitely worth buying for the sleeve showing a volcano erupting from what looks like between a woman's legs, but the fast tempo funk music is nothing special.

So that's what that cover is supposed to look like! lol..:icon_lol:

Thanks for the reply Jussi, I probably won't be buying this now until I hear some of it before hand..

a year ago a friend of mine picked up a copy of the original lp because he'd heard the buzz about it. we went through the album together and agreed that there wasn't even one memorable cut.

the cover is so strangely bad it suggests the music might be bad-good, but alas it's simply bad-bad.

you can hear much more distinctive obscurities on my 24/7 internet radio station, RadioioDisco:

Hi guys,

I have to disagree, since this album contains one of the most extraordinaire disco soul tracks of all times... LOVE FUSE, a great stomper with marvellous horns arrangements, a wonderful guitar groove and a deep soul lead voice.

Give it a second listen

I aggree with you all too. Mostly funk stuff. Maybe "flight 69" can be played but.. not in my parties. Only for funk devotees... saw it at an expensive price in local shop.. still dont know why ?:icon_confused:

Hey Barry,

I know this is off-topic, but I've really been enjoying the radio station the last several times I've listened.. I heard your promo on there a few weeks ago calling all bloggers, so I just linked you on my own lil' blog..

Keep it up!
