Cavaliers Unlimited

For my first musical post I thought I'd give ya a little something that I just picked up earlier this evening from Lunchbox Records here in Charlotte.

This 7 inch was originally recorded in 1968 by the Portland ,Oregon group Cavaliers Unlimited. Few of the original 45's are know to exist, and those in existence are mostly in poor condition.

In more recent years DJ Shadows Cali-Tex label re-released these same 2 tracks under license from the original band.

The copy I purchased tonight is a re-re-release by Mississippi records ,also out of Portland and is volume #1 of their North Portland Music series . It was limited to a 500 copy pressing and is some very rough-edged raw funk both figuratively and literally in the sense that the production and recording quality leave a little to be desired.
