Be With to reissue coveted ’80s oddball disco LP by Marti Caine

Alongside records from Sidaku Buari, Side On, and Sleepy Brown.

Be With Records has announced four reissues this September and October.

Kicking things off, Sidaku Buari’s 1975 Ghanian afro-breat LP Buari is being reissued for the first time on the 14th of September. Sampled by Kenny Dope and a classic among the b-boy/breaking scene, the record also features legendary funk drummer Bernard ‘Pretty’ Purdie .

On 28th September, Side On’s 1982 UK boogie-funk track ‘Magic’ is being reissued for the first time. Side On featured Pink Rhythm/Freeez bassist Peter Maas, Freeez/Potion’s Everton McCalla and Potion’s Rick Clark. Earlier this year, Be With reissued Pink Rhythm’s seminal ‘Melodies Of Love’.

On 12th October, Outkast collaborator Sleepy Brown’s Sleepy’s Theme: The Vinyl Room is being released on vinyl for the first time, in a special 20th anniversary edition. Though the album harks back to ’70s funk, it contains no samples, with Sleepy boasting: “the music of the ’70s wasn’t computerized, it was just realness from the heart and that’s what we captured.”

Finally, on 26th October UK comedian Marti Caine’s Point Of View LP will be reissued for the first time. Originally released in 1981 it was the fifth album released by the dark disco pop chanteuse singer.

All of the records have been remastered from their original tapes by Simon Francis.
