Notes

Limited to 300 copies
Written "Made in Manila" but it's made in France.

Two slices of funk from the Phillipines of all places. The so-so B side sounds like the soundtrack to a seventies cop show but you’ll really be wanting this for the ridiculous Hangmen A side Let’s Boogie Now. This sounds like the result of a live jam where the band tried to replay Sly Stone’s Thank You Falettin Me Be Mice Elf from memory whilst singing the (English) lyrics to another song (from memory) without the slightest comprehension of English vocabulary or pronunciation. Consequently the “Let’s Boogie Now” chorus rings out with all the clarity of an Obama speech while the rest is belted out with all the clarity of a pissed Englishmen having a crack at Richie Valens’ La Bamba on karaoke night. Mind you, for all I know The Hangmen could genuinely be singing the rest of the song in Tagalog or something, in which case the preceeding comment will make me look like a complete c–t.

Labels are the wrong way around.(as in the youtube soundfiles it's wrongly titled too)

During the Vietnam war, the Philippines was one of the American troops' main bases. Its capital of Manilla ensured the GIs relaxation and pleasure during their time off. The local bands who played gigs in brothels and late night bars changed their regular repertoire to adapt to their new clients, the boys', and their American taste. A new musical genre was born, "Pinoy Disko", a mix of classic funk and disco covers sung in English or in the traditional language of Tagalog. All these tunes reek of booze, dames, nostalgia and fighting,blending to the combination of a great FUNK cocktail. Some of the covers bands really stood out, some have been forgotten... Check!
