Beathearts rewind #37: The Heath Brothers - Smilin' Billy suite 1-4

Friday night and it has become somewhat of a tradition to pull out tunes from the past to get the weekend started.

As a spin-off to our post on K-Def's brilliant album Night Shift here's the original to one of the tunes off the album: Smilin' Billy Suite 1-4. Brilliantly spotted, sampled and rearranged by Q-Tip on Nas One love.

Taken from Jimmy, Percy and Albert Heath's 1976 Strata album Marchin' on recorded in Oslo, Norway (!). The original vinyl has been deleted for ages and is in high demand by crate diggers around the globe. There was a very limited japanese vinyl/CD reissue in 2003 but since that batch is also deleted this amazing piece of music deserves more recognition. Check it below.
