"Following on from our previous release of two of the more in demand songs from the Washington D.C Tec label by Roscoe & Friends and Tojo, we at Soul Junction have decided to release the remainder Of Roscoe (Bowie) & Friends Tec output in the format of an EP single.
The A-side features the currently in demand Funk outing “Barnyard Soul” the official A-side on the original release of Roscoe’s classic Northern Soul dancer “Broadway Sissy”. The B-side features a Roscoe & Friends cover version of the Herbie Hancock penned classic “Watermelon Man” a song first recorded by famed Latin Jazz percussionist Mongo Santamaria in 1962 and released on the Riverside Records subsidiary Battle label. “Watermelon Man” has been covered by many, many artists ever since with Santamaria’s version being inducted into The Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1998. Herbie Hancock also, due to the popularity of Santamaria’s version recorded the song on his debut Blue Note album “Taking Off”." - Soul Junction Records
