The “ultra-rare” soul and funk masterpiece 1619 BadAss Band, originally released in 1976 by TSG—the pinnacle of rare groove—is being reissued on CD and LP by MRBONGO! Considered by enthusiasts to be one of the rarest releases even within TSG’s catalog, this album isn’t just about its scarcity—it’s a truly rich collection that encompasses everything from supremely mellow mid-tempo dance tracks and straight-ahead vocal funk to slow numbers, making it the very epitome of rare groove! A five-piece band from New Jersey—featuring Khalid Abdul Shaheed (p), Carl A. Harris (b), Phyllis Harris (vo), Ogden Lee Jr. (g), and Ernie (ds)—this New Jersey-based five-piece, the 1619 Bad Ass Band, released their only album in 1976 on TSG, the hidden gem of rare groove. Kicking things off with the superb disco-funk track “Love To Love,” the album features the heavy funk track “Step Out”—known for its intense drum break, which has also been sampled by DJ Shadow—the female-vocal-led “Nothing Can Stop My Loving You,” the exquisite crossover soul track “Just For You,” and the mellow soul ballad “Rain (Always Finds Me Crying)”—every track is a standout, making for a truly satisfying collection! A must-have not only for record diggers but also for fans of classic soul and funk!
