STONE COAL WHITE
STONE COAL WHITE (NUMERO GROUP)
Only the 10th record from DJ Shadow's long running Cali-Tex imprint, Stone Coal White fits the label's bill of unearthing the most wasted and primitive funk records ever recorded.
Some will recognize "You Know" from the black-psych mix bible Chains & Black Exhaust, but as the group's two 45s exist in single digit quantities, only a handful have heard the rest of this Ho Chi Min City-damaged oeuvre.
Their two 45s have been bolstered with four previously unissued tracks, found in the basement of a now-condemned motorcycle gang hideout in Dayton, Ohio.
