Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector.

Hello Killer Groove, and any lovely readers,
I've got the Whatmusic reissue of this album somewhere... this post reminds me I ought to dig it out and re-listen.
The reason I'm posting here tho', is this: I've enjoyed reading many of your posts, now I'd like to share one of mine with you and your readers:
The Earth Disciples were a very obscure band - unsdeservedly so, as I'm sure you'll agree, if you know them - who released one album, Getaway Train, on Sonny Lester's Solid State label, in 1969. A fantastic blend of instrumental funk, soul, jazz and rock, with a dreamily psychedelic edge, it's a real lost gem.
I learned of them via the four brothers beats blog, which is now invite only. That lead to me buying both their album and the accompanying 45. I've also written an article on the album, recently published in the UK. Some more info that didn't get into the article can be found here:

I'm corresponding with the drummer and bassist, and we're hoping to get the Earth Disciples back on the tracks some time soon, so watch out for further developments over at the funky goat blog, and if you're interested in the band get in touch via my blog comments area,
cheers, the goat
