Essential soul cuts from underground Bay Area funk legend Darondo. It’s a pleasure to listen to “Didn’t I” on 45. You might already have it on the Gilles Peterson Digs America comp, or maybe the Ubiquity full length, but nothing beats hearing Darondo’s soulful vocals on freshly pressed 7″. Seriously, do yourself a favor and pick this up. Flip contains the originally unissued recording “Saving My Love.” Recommended.
