Harlem Underground Band / The Mighty Tom Cats - Smokin’ Cheeba-Cheeba / Dance Girl [Paul Winley Records]

Format: 7" color vinyl in printed sleeve.
CAT: PWP1104C

Originally released by Paul Winley Records in 1973, “Smokin’ Cheeba-Cheeba” —featuring Ann Winley on vocals— became a cornerstone of the 80s UK Rare Groove scene, achieving cult status among collectors and DJs alike. On the B-side, “Dance Girl” —also released under the name The Rimshots— delivers one of the most revered uptempo breaks of the era. Its unmistakable groove has been sampled by The Roots, Large Professor, and many more, solidifying its place in hip-hop production history. The creative core behind The Mighty Tom Cats and The Rimshots would later evolve into the legendary Fatback Band, adding another layer of prestige to this essential combination. With original copies fetching high prices on Discogs, this special Dinked orange vinyl 7-inch edition, presented in an official Paul Winley Records sleeve for Record Store Day, represents a rare opportunity to own two fundamental funk/soul gems in a single collectible release.
