New upload today is some horny hip-house from not the Lisbon you're thinking of, but the one in rural Maryland.
I picked up Work It digging in Japan. Struck by the classic rudimentary label art I had to have a listen. Although far more x-rated than anything I would usually play or upload (aside from another recent find) I felt like it was something that deserved to be seen online.
Work It (Strippers Delight) seems to be a pump up track for a group of male strippers, with vocals from B (Bonita James) and K (Kim Watkins) urging them to shake harder and faster.
Darryl Patterson, who also helped out with a few early Grove St releases, and Vaughn Mason, known particularly for his 1983 album Feel My Love with Butch Dayo, are also given writing credits. Interestingly too, this record was produced by Mason in New York, but released by Maryland's Gotcha Productions.
Gotcha Productions, releasing out of a town of only a few hundred people, has only released one other record. Seems to be out of my price range but if you're in the EU and have some cash I have a feeling that Daniel Fordham's 'Real Love' could be a bomb.
Is this record a ripple of New York hip-house scene that somehow found it's way to an ambitious Maryland label head?
Or is it evidence of a pulsating sexual underbelly in rural Lisbon that travelled to the big apple to reveal itself to a new audience?
As with many of these bargain bin mysteries, maybe we will never know.
Until it appears on a repress compilation!
