Equatics Doin’ It!!!! LP Now In Stock (And We’re Still Giving Away a Freebie)….

You asked for it, and we responded: the LP version of our official reissue of the Equatics’ dark soul/funk masterpiece Doin’ It!!! in a thick, “paste-on” cardboard sleeve that mimicks the original album jacket. Now-Again’s LP reissue of Doin’ It!!!! also comes with Egon’s extensive liner notes printed on the back of the sleeve.

And, in case you still don’t know who these high-school soul maestros are, we’re still offering you a taste: their cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine.”

Note to all of those who will soon travel to the Southwest of Japan in search of records: even though you might have heard stories of mint copies of James Knight and the Butlers’ solitary LP and sealed copies of Syl Johnson’s Is It Because I’m Black turning up in the “Rare Groove Sale” section of random Kyoto record stores, sometimes it’s more fitting to use your off day after a sold-out show in Osaka digging for the best riverside crab tempura in Arashiyama, and spend the evening drinking Mersaults from the late ’70s….
