All Points Bulletin


I grabbed this one at a flea market last fall, sight unheard/unseen. It turned out to be a pretty good score as I later came to find out that Little City Records , originally from the Chocolate City, moved itself to Charlotte,NC in late 1977 or early 1978.
All Points Bulletin was a 6 piece band hailing from northwest Washington D.C. None of the personnel line-ups I've found made mention of any horn players so I 'm guessing that studio musicians were used for the horn parts.
Discographies generally only seem to list 5 singles released between 1975 and 1979. No full length Lps ever seemed to have been released, although the label on my 45 states " from the forth coming Lp "Funky Bottom-Bottom Funk" LC1500.
Side one is
Funky Bottom-Bottom Funk. A vocal groove with some funky flanged -out guitar and clavinet and some nice horn breaks.
Side two is Astro Ride is an instrumental bass and drum driven number with some real punchy horns.
There is a little bit of static on these recordings, but I don't think its anything that can't be overlooked considering this 45 is a little more than 30 years old.
