Sebastian – Living In Depression
Listen/Download -Sebastian – Living In Depression
Greetings all.
I hope you are all well.
This has been a busy week, but what might be described as ‘good’ busy, as opposed to up to your ass in hungry, snapping alligators i.e. ‘bad’ busy. I have a lot on my plate but it’s the kind of stuff that keep things moving forward in a positive (if incremental) way, so I think I can dig it.
Everyone has their own pile of responsibilities, some more pressing than others, and naturally the quest is always to find a way to balance it all, keep your life in between the lines and maybe, just maybe squeeze a little enjoyment out of the process.
So far, so good.
The tune I bring you today is something that I happened upon (as is often the case) via another collectors ‘finds’s list. The collector in question was someone who’s taste I hold in very high regard, and his description of the disc was so intriguing I set out to find myself a copy.
The acquisition thereof was both rapid and financially painless, which is more than I can say for the quest for information that followed.
The groovy thing – once the record fell through the mail slot – was that it was immediately apparent that ‘Living In Depression’ was in fact a vocal laid over the top of Little Royal and the Swingmasters funk 45 classic ‘Razor Blade’.
I set off in search of info, and found almost nothing, except for an intriguing scrap of info that placed Sebastian in Virginia.
That was months ago, and I found nothing else, so I moved the track to the back of the line and went on about my bid’ness.
So, I was dipping back into the reservoir and decided that I’d make another run at this track, and lo and behold I discover that the fine folks at the Funky Virginia blog had laid out the whole story in detail, so allow me to direct you over there for all of the pertinent info.
The track does suffer a little bit from a bad mix (especially in the beginning), but if you dig ‘Razor Blade’ as much as I do, I think you’ll enjoy hearing it laid down as a vocal.
I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back on Friday.
Peace
Larry
