Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Funky16Corners 2014 Allnighter and Pledge Drive<\/strong> is arriving Friday, June 6th!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Example\" <\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a stellar line up of selectors\u00a0contributing mixes this year, and the mixes are killer.<\/p>\n

The format will be slightly different this year, with a new mix being added each weekday from June 6 to June 20.<\/p>\n

All donors this year will receive the new 2014 Funky16Corners badge (see the left side of the banner, above)<\/strong>, as well as stickers from the archive (while they last). There will also be prizes every day (drawn at random) including CDs and 45s from Cultures of Soul<\/strong>, CDs from Light in the Attic<\/strong> and more!<\/p>\n

It’s sure to be a gas, so stay tuned for more details in the coming week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

___________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

As the weekend is approaching rapidly, I should take a moment to remind you to lend an ear to the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong>, which hits the airwaves of the interwebs this and every Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio.<\/strong><\/a> You can also subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes or grab yourselves an MP3 here at the blog.<\/p>\n

The record I bring you today was one of those happy little b-side discoveries.<\/p>\n

I originally picked up this 45 for the very cool vocal version of \u2018Hole In the Wall\u2019 by the Other Brothers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Released in 1966 \u2013 covering the Packers<\/strong> OG from 1965 \u2013 the Other Brothers take on the tune was groovy indeed (and covered in this space backin 2009).<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortunately, I remembered to flip the record over when I was recording it, and discovered much to my delight that the b-side was also quite good, in an entirely different bag.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s Been a Long Time Baby\u2019 is one of those melodic, hard charging tunes that should have found its way onto the radio, or at the very least, onto a Northern Soul playlist or two.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been able to nail down any information on the Other Brothers.<\/p>\n

There appears to have been a few different groups operating under than name during the 1960s, and the names on the 45 have not provided any leads.<\/p>\n

That said, if your intention is to acquire 45s with the maximum amount of heat for dollar value, you could do a lot worse than adding this one to your record box.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Monday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
