i cnt believe some 1 is trying to sell this record for 250 euros,,,,,,,,,,n i can buy this same record for 11 uk pounds,,,,,,,,,,,,tunes ok but it dnt make me come
@spameron1980 the original 79 version is rare, hence the price, the recent re-release is bound to be a fraction of the cost..you can buy my 79 white label copy for £180 : )
There are several covers of this and I must say that I think that the Carlos Santana live version is by far the best, perhaps even better than the original. I really think that the "funk" has completely been taken out of this and where oh where oh where is the brass on it!!!!!!
very nice! good break* there's another one out there actually called disco nassau it's got a real hard groove but the break is like 3 or 4 seconds, i like this one real funky & mellow, thanks for posting!!!
For those finding it hard to get this on 12 inch it was released on the first Norman Jay Good Times compilation on CD and Vinyl which I think has been deleted. Plenty for resale though.
Go To Hell...!!! That's the original artist who made Funky Nassau in the early 70's... And this version sounds just as good as the first one did... Remarkable... Big thanks to the person who put this on youtube... !! Peace.
Please do not bark at me or treat me like insane, but to me the original '73 track is much much funkier.
I got both on 12 extended and to me the '73 cut is the real thrill.
There was a '74 cut done in Kingston, Jamaica by Hopeton Lewis, called "Funky Kingston", which deserves your full attention too.
I am a french 26 year old man and I have been loving "The Beginning of the End" for over 10 years now. At that time you could get real bargains on eBay.
Hey Brother... Thanks so much for your comment... I'm going to check out that Hopeton Lewis joint as well to see if it is as funky as you say it is.. You have proven to me that you have great taste in music already...lol Take Care friend, and have a really good weekend.. Peace.
@charliedesiles played the hopeton lewis the other night :) decent cover out of the uk too on the king kong reggae comp from the 70's. .. a few other versions from around the world too..
wowowowowowowowow Never heard this before..................Listened to this a few times..........I love this as much as the original sorry............think this is WICKED...........
I know it's Ray's song, but the calipso rythm can't be imitated with a cow bell. this version is purely a disco beat ok for three minutes of dancing. The singing and rapping is lame also. The original with carribean rythm (in my opinion)is way more funkier..
SUPERGROOVE !
