All Platinum is one of my favorite labels. So many dope acts.. The Optimistics, The Whatnauts ,Linda Jones etc. This self titled joint by The Heartstoppers is one of the rarer.

A pretty much ungoogleable private press soul LP from Connecticut's James Becton. I remember hearing the title track on one of Thes One's mixes a few years ago. Backed by the Mysterious Elements Band and Bobby Earl , Becton laces us with some ill drum machine underpinned funk on the title track "Butter & Toast" and some feel good vibes on "Tell Me Why". Remember, just like everything else you saw it here FIRST!!!!!

Kimbo Slice Look-a-like Lee Edwards delivers the goods on this very ,very rare private press soul LP. Hailing from detroit and backed by some members of soul outfit the A.D.C Band, Lee shows his range with upbeat tracks like "I Found Love" to mellow ballads like "Prove Your Love" The back cover reads..... "Lee Edwards is as invincible as the late former heavyweight champion Joe Lewis, and with a mouth as big and sound as boisterous as muhammad Ali in the ring of the entertainment world and an entertainer we believe we're going to be hearing alot from. He also imitates fifty top acts of today"Remember as always you saw it here first!

Though I can take no credit for it, here is Tommy McGee's ultra rare Positive-Negative LP. Generously ripped by crate digging legend and turntable king DJ Supreme La Rock for Soulstrut's record day. Basically it's stupid rare and your never gonna see let alone own a copy!

Well this LP ticks all the boxes for a classic post . Private press .. check! , Crazy auction sale .. check! , un-googleable ... check! (ok,well almost) St Thomas group Infinite Love Experience hit us with a slightly raw mix of soul, reggae and latin stylings. It features some excellent guitar work from Glen Mason and instrumentation slick enough to grace any major label release at the time.

Sorry about the delay but I've been seriously busy in the lab, I'm pretty sure this Private press modern soul joint will have been worth the wait though. It's yet another gem from Sanfrancisco's Bay Area (home to so many dope LP's) Judging by the artwork the label Treasure Records only existed in this guys bedroom, but thats more than made up for by this LP's synth driven funkiness ...... well at least peanut butter wolf thinks so.
