Various Jungle Jive - Voodoo Exotica Jungle Swing Vol.1 (LP, 10inch)

(2016/Stag-O-Lee) 10 Tracks - Inspired by the call of the wild and the primitive beat, from the deepest jungle to the far-off Orient... This collection of voodoo exotica comes from the vaults of “Swingin’ Dick’s 78 Social”. Renown the world over as “The Original Gramophone Operative”, Swingin’ Dick shares his collection of shellac shaking phonographic 78rpm records for your edification. Join the enigmatic Dick as he spins his unique brand of Jungle Swing & Tribal Rhythms, 10 inches at a time! Many of these sides are either unissued promo pressings or see their first inclusion on compilation here. Recorded directly from their battered 78 platters and remastered for your aural satisfaction, it’s time to embrace the hiss and crackle of authentic Swing records from the Thirties and Forties. With jazz hotter than the Tropics, packed with the essence of both The Rhythm & The Blues, these tunes will have you swingin’ and swayin’ till you start sweatin’ ! Sleeve is inspired by the vintage Schellack covers.
