A few weeks ago, I heard a well known Sydney rock muso and an apparently credible 2JJJ DJ, so credible in fact that I’ve forgotten their names, rant on and on ad nauseum about some extremely rare funk album by the Skull Snaps that few people have heard of from 1973, and how it was subsequently sampled by a whole load of recent musos who need to rip off other artists instead of write their own music (my words :-). Anyway, they kept on and on about how rare this album was, then played the classic “It’s a new day.” Well, not only is this extremely rare album available from Amazon, but today I found three copies in the $2 bargain bin at HMV Chatswood. I didn’t buy them. Good on ya Triple J, keep up the cred. Yes this record is important, but it is also extremely easy to find. more on skull snaps…
