Can We Rap

12" : £ 6.8

Carleen & The Groovers are one of THE monumental groups in the funky 45 scene of the early 70s -- and they've got an incredibly tight sound that rivaled the JBs -- with hard heavy drums, choppy scratchy guitar, and a blaring horn groove! Vocals are very upfront in the mix, and the whole thing's super raw. "Can We Rap" is a monster, and has appeared on the odd comp or two over the years -- but "Right On" is even better! It's got a very nice breakbeat in the middle, and some cool strung-out guitar! "The Thing" and "Hot Pants" are two equally great -- but lesser-known grooves by the group -- and the whole single comes with a great set of notes on Carleen and the tracks!
