Quit Jive' In / Jungle Walk (7")

Proudly presenting a 7-inch reissue of this mythical, raw funk rarity by the
Miami-based, Cuban rock band, Pearly Queen. Featuring the hugely sought after,
infectious cut 'Quit Jive' In' and a fantastic cover of The Rascals 'Jungle Walk',
this is a double header of mid '70s funk fire.

Originally released on Cuban record producer Manuel J. Mato's Sound Triangle
Records in 1974, who had emigrated to the US in 1960, this scarce funk gem has
long been a prized funk 45 find. DJs and collectors such as Keb Darge and Jazzman
Gerald brought this to our attention in the 1990s, with the status of the track
amplified by its inclusion on DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist's landmark 7" DJ mix
'Brainfreeze'. DJ Shadow, also used the drums and horns break to masterful effect
on his track "The Number Song" (1996) taken from his infamous "Endtroducing"
album on Mo Wax.

Written by Ray Fernandez of Ray &His Court fame,"Quit Jive In" is a swaggering
funk throwdown, dripping in groove and underpinned by heavy breaks and punchy
horns. Whilst on the B side, the rock-funk "Jungle Walk" is a cover version of
The Rascals 1972 original. Penned by the singer, songwriter and guitarist Buzzy
Feiten, it wouldn't be out of place as part of the soundtrack to a Tarantino
movie.
