A quick update for all the shackers out there. This time around we've got a couple new additions as well as some reposts/alternate versions that'll keep both the hoofers and the hedz happy. We're also creeping up to the halfway mark on the MRL series archive, with 58 of the 122 albums being represented here at the shad shack. Kudos to all the cats 'n' kittens out there on the prowl for more Mainstream!
You may have missed this one the first time around since it was posted by Greg on his Sounds From The Edge Of The Universe blog shortly after he went private. Luckily, our G-Man is soooo generous, he couldn't help but keep sharing with the whole wide web and his new Impulse! site wasn't enough. That's why he and Reza came back from blog limbo with the beautiful Black Classical so now this fine feast of fusion is available to shackers of all shapes and sizes. Head on over and check out their new digs and while you're at it you can dig on this dope Hal Galper album!
More goodness from Greg, this time a direct DL available (for now) exclusively at the shad shack. As shacker sasha mentioned in the comments, Land's Mainstream output is "really cutting-edge stuff" and it "has been an unexpected delight." If you weren't able to catch the Orgy In Rhythm post of this one back in the day, then here's your chance to grab it now!
Also providing more MRL goodies is Dr. Johnny Fever, our physician of funk tradition over at everything is on the one. Bless his fantastically funky heart, this is the fourth MRL the doc has shared since he began his brilliant blog this summer. Talk about havin' the cure for what ails ya! Thanks are also due to the shad shack's honorary lion tamer, E-mile for pointing out the post in the first place!
An anonymous donation and another shad shack exclusive for the blogosphere. It's very similar in feel to The Phoenix Authority album which shouldn't be surprising since most of the personnel is the same. Most of the second side is constituted of Ernie's compositions which compete on an even keel with some of the classic number covered on the disc. Sounds like it was ripped from the P-vine CD reissue but can only guess...

[MRL 331]
An alternate rip of this mainstream jazzfunk monster has been posted recently at the magnificent Miloramona blog. Highly recommended site for jazz fans in general!
