Originally issued on Paul Winley Records in 1973, "Smokin' Cheeba-Cheeba"-with Ann Winley on vocals-became a cornerstone of the 1980s UK Rare Groove scene, earning cult-classic status among collectors and DJs alike. On the flip, "Dance Girl"-also released under the Rimshots name-serves up one of the era's most revered up-tempo breaks. It's unmistakable groove has been sampled by The Roots, Large Professor, and many others, cementing it's place in hip-hop production history. The creative nucleus behind both The Mighty Tom Cats and The Rimshots would later evolve into the legendary Fatback Band, adding another layer of pedigree to this essential pairing. With original copies fetching high prices on Discogs, this special-edition Orange vinyl Dinked 7-inch, housed in a branded Paul Winley Records sleeve for Record Store Day, offers a rare chance to own two deep-cut funk/soul essentials on one collectible release.
