GDU - Geno / Chips and Beans (TALC 006 - 7" vinyl)

£ 3 

Geno - "Back in '68 in a sweaty club..."  The old Dexy's Midnight Runners favourite gets the GDU boogaloo makeover. 

Chips and Beans - Mid-tempo funker with an "out there" tune, and a solid groove. 

Both tracks exclusive to this single; "Chips and Beans" different recording to the album version on "Done"N"Dusted".
 

GDU - Long Gone John / Teasin' (TALC 004 - 7" vinyl)

£ 3 

Long Gone John - Bo Diddley in New Orleans - sounds like a good combination to us.  From the album "At The Jazz Traffic Lights", recorded at London's famous Toe Rag Studios.

Teasin' - Written by Delaney and Bonnie for King Curtis and Eric Clapton. Don't be scared, it's not one of Clapton's cheesy ballads or a lame cod-reggae cover - no, it's dancefloor here I come!  Non-album track, only available on this single.

On tasty speckled pink vinyl - every one different!
 

GDU - Due Bottoni / Juicy Lucy (BUT15 - 7" vinyl)

£ 3 

Due Bottoni - GDU pay tribute to their favourite sartorial feature, the two-buttoned shirt collar, with this groovy Milanese 60's garage beat/lounge track.

Juicy Lucy - Melding Northern soul with Blue Note soul-jazz, with big horn section and tasty solos.

Picture sleeve and delicious peppermint-green vinyl.  Or is it pistachio?  It's definitely green - see picture.
 

GDU - Cakeshop / BB's Gonna Be Be (TALC 003 - 7" vinyl)

£ 3 

Cakeshop: Evergreen GDU stage favourite. Take a trip to the fictional beachfront confectionary establishment that is "Xarlie Xutney's Cakeshop Imaginaire". Summery 60's pop that's sure to put a smile on your face and make you dance like your auntie did on Top of the Pops.

BB's Gonna Be Be - GDU believe that "funk" is good and "funky" is bad.  This is FUNK!
