{"product_id":"1619-bad-ass-band-vinyl","title":"1619 Bad Ass Band - 1619 Bad Ass Band [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eMr Bongo proudly presents a reissue of the self-titled album by the 1619 Bad Ass Band, originally released in 1976. This New Jersey soul-funk gem captures the raw energy of mid-'70s underground funk and soul, making it a highly sought-after prize for collectors and DJs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on the ultra-rare tax-scam imprint TSG Records, this album was the only release from the group formed by Khalid Abdul Shalid. Due to the nature of these 'tax-scam' labels, records were often pressed in extremely limited quantities with minimal promotion or distribution, leading to the album's initial obscurity. However, this obscurity has since cemented its status as a holy grail for diggers and DJs within the 1970s rare soul scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, the album offers a unique and varied palette. From the luscious, dreamy ballad 'Rain' to the raw, drum-heavy funk of 'Love To Love', the group showcases impressive depth and versatility. Standout tracks include the string-laden stepper 'Just From You', the spacey synth lines of 'Nothing Can Stop My Loving You' which will appeal to modern soul fans, and 'Step Out', which features a heavy drum break sampled on Latyrx's 'Interlude'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis reissue offers a chance to experience a collection of tracks that, despite the band never receiving the recognition they deserved at the time, are all winners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArtist: 1619 Bad Ass Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl (LP Record)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease Date: 2026-07-31\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 245g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 314x312x4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"1619 Bad Ass Band","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57826713371006,"sku":"B0H2JZSBNF","price":55.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/3919\/1207\/files\/81Xtvx68c5L_3f95baa8-b257-4697-982c-9f3a5a5bed23.jpg?v=1786383096","url":"https:\/\/ca.yachew.com\/fr\/products\/1619-bad-ass-band-vinyl","provider":"Yachew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
