Under The Influence Vol.7 compiled by Winston by Various Artists

Under The Influence Vol.7 compiled by Winston
by Various Artists




Z Records continues its commitment to unearthing the obscure and long forgotten tracks from the last 40 years through the ever-popular Under The Influence series. Following on from Red Greg, Paul Phillips, James Glass, Nick The Record, Sean P and Faze Action it’s now the turn of one of the scenes most prolific but yet unknown collectors, Winston.

Included in this outstanding collection is the complete and original "Go For It Sucker" by RG's All Nite Funk Band, which was written by RG Ingersoll of Motown/Hotrax and Kenneth Howard Smith (Kenny Smith) also one of the old Motown songwriters.  "Go For It Sucker" has been playing in the Disco's of Europe for over the past thirty years and continues to hold its own as if it was recorded just yesterday.

According to Smith who came up with the original beat and melody, wrote the song in five minutes in between repairs of the soundboard going out.  Ingersoll was the one who arranged and finished the melody and completed the song to where it is today.

Outside of the established record collectors, Winston is pretty much unknown but those that know of him will tell you that despite his low profile he has one of the best record collections around.

Sean P remembers his first trip to Winston’s house in the sleeve notes: When I visited his house for the first time, I felt like a beginner - my expectations were far exceeded by the neat rows and piles of 12"s and L.Ps everywhere; and I had brought along a foolscap notebook which after eight hours or so, expanded my wants list considerably.

I thumbed through hundreds of weird and mysterious independent and major label releases. Winston played whatever I was interested in hearing, occasionally spinning random 7" ('Space Funk' by Manzel, for example) and various LP cuts of his choice. I had perused around half of the collection by the time I left, but I'll never forget that kid-in-a-toyshop feeling, along with the realization of Winston's Buddha-like status as a master of this arcane pastime.

Sean continues: Winston is still doing the 'rounds weekly; and since the Hammersmith Black Music Record events of the mid-'80s, he's missed few record fairs if any - trading with dealers & fellow collectors and parting with cash when necessary. Surprisingly, he has no truck with the internet – somewhat curious to the rest of us who now can't imagine life without it. And as a man with no online presence, knowledge of Winston's existence is restricted to the real world. Some justification, perhaps, for giving this fervent ambassador of all things boogie an opportunity to share some of his favorites beyond those in the know.

So for Volume Seven of the Under The Influence series Winston has included tracks taking in soul, funk, disco & boogie with many of the tracks costing hundreds if you were able to find the originals.

As always with ZR compilations a lot of time and effort has been spent on creating these masters from the original vinyl, cleaning them up, removing all the clicks and pops resulting in the cleanest sounding copy possible.
