Funkin' For JamaicaLes Deux
00:00 / 02:00

I was pretty surprised when I stumbled across this record in the Netherlands: two guys calling themselves Les Deux released an LP in 1983 – featuring a cover of Tom Browne’s Funkin’ for Jamaica. Not exactly one of the most frequently covered funk classics.
The version? Pretty low-budget production, pop-style arrangement, drum machine from the bargain bin, and vocals somewhere between karaoke bar and living room recording. But that’s exactly what gives it its charm.
That strange magic only cheap private pressings seem to have – raw, unpolished, unintentionally cult.
I love it.
