TIMELESS TUNES
Blog about groovy fleamarket finds from Finland.

This weeks pick is no more no less but one of the best disco maxisingles I've ever heard: Bullet Train. As much as I know this is the only release that they ever got out. Hard luck, because both sides on this one are tight as hell and absolute winners. This single came out on UK-based Sidewalk records in 1979.

A-side is called Don't Hold Back My Bullets. Almost everything is in place here: brasshits, bassline, fuzzy wahguitar and even the lyrics. Hard to get better maybe?

Not necessarily, because the real Bang Bang banger is on the B-side which starts by long drumbreak with electric piano. The song builds up nicely and in the end there's real disco inferno going on! =) (Don't mind that little crack in the beginning of this one. Fleamarket finds are not always that minty, as you know)

  1. Tääkin on mielenkiintoinen tuttavuus. Taitaa olla raer kanssa, koska ei ole koskaan tullut vastaan sen puoleen kirppiksillä kuin netissäkään.

    Pyssyttelyfunk/dise on aina hienoa. Muita vastaavia tulee mieleen esim. Riot/Put Your Gun Down Brother, Fantastic Four/Alvin Stone: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSjcdzQz15k ), sekä tietysti alan ehdoton klassikko Gangster Boogie, jossa maailmankaikkeuden siisteimpiä kansia:
