The Bushmen - Sweat It Out
Ripped from a 12" vinyl single released on Upright Records (UPT 11) in 1985 to high resolution 24-bit flac audio. More from my big pile of non-hit wonders, the blurb with this single says The Bushmen have supported Gary Glitter and Tina Turner on tour - well that should have be the nail in their coffin, Perhaps it was, as they were never seen of or heard from again.
To be totally honest this is actually a really good record which will appeal to all my fellow indie-funkster fans. It's clear The Bushmen were stable mates in the Chakk or Slab! camp from 1985, and whilst Sweat It Out has a bit of a Chakk ring to it's title, the may have ruined it slightly with Youth's over-mixed remix - in an attempt to harden their sound. The original un-tampered version on the b-side is miles better. If you like hard throbbing funky basslines, then the sample crazy Red Necks, White Socks is just up your street. Did I just use the words hard, throbbing and funky in the same sentence?
