The SUGARMAN 3
What The World Needs Now
Daptone US

t’s been a full decade since the last Sugarman Three album, and a lot’s happened in that time. Daptone has risen from an upstart label to spearhead an underground funk movement. Its flagship act, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, became a full-fledged success story, and Sugarman Three leader/saxophonist Neil Sugarman’s played with Amy Winehouse, Al Green and Jones’ Dap-Kings. This may account for the more relaxed vibe of What the World Needs Now compared with its 2002 predecessor Pure Cane Sugar. The revival mission’s already been accomplished, so the new disc doesn’t go out of its way to sound like a lost ‘70s funk nugget. The echo-drenched production of the earlier disc is gone, replaced by a no-frills live sound, and when they want some atmosphere, they bring in some friends to clap hands and shout in the background. Drummer Rudy Albin also sticks less tightly to the coiled-up funk backbeats he used to favor; allowing himself to open up and swing.

If you’re in the middle of a soul searching effort, we’re more than willing to point you in the right direction! ReGrooved has taken it upon itself to rerelease an otherwise lost treasure called Dancin’ in the Flames of Love by Regina James. This record first saw the light of day back in 1978 and was never reissued on vinyl.Not only was this album the only one ever released by the singer, it seems that security has claimed her ever since. Only three singles under her name have come forth, one standalone 7” called ‘Gee Wiz Boy – backed with ‘My Man Is Coming Home’ - followed by ‘Alfie/Dancin’ in the Name of Love’ in support of her album. After the Maxi-Single ‘My Love (Ain't Gonna Never Let You Get Away)’ – again using ‘Dancin’ in the Name of Love’ for the B-side – she has literally vanished from any and all charts.Her legacy lives on, though. Apart from the obscurity that surrounds both the record and its performer, another important detail makes this disc an important collector’s item. For it seems that Regina James was a protégé of none other than legendary songwriter, producer and vocalist Clarence Reid, who actually became (in)famous through his controversial XXX- rated stage persona Blowfly!Many of the songs on Dancin’ in the Name of Love were written by him – including the title track. Catchy soul, funk and disco rhythms are given an extra dimension by various synthetic sound effects and James’ sultry vocals. She often uses narration to introduce a track and ease the listener into the subsequent grooviness.Enjoy this formerly lost treasure!
Recorded by Randy Williams in 1997 at home studio in San Francisco, California, after a two year stay at Camp Darby military base near Pisa, Italy and some occasional off-duty visits to Giancarlo Lobel in Rome and Marina di Pisa. The encounters made in that period were inspiring for Williams to create a strange and personal style upon his return to the United States. Released and distributed privately in Italy and USA to group of artists and appreciators as compact disc after spectacles, and as music library soundtrack.
