Today we bring you a fresh episode of Live From Greenville Studios. It’s our eighth episode and number eight is quite a treat. For this episode we brought in Robert Perlman of the excellent vinyl music blog Funk For The People. This site has well over 1600 original vinyl record forty fives of obscure funk, soul, and other assorted funky oddities from Robert’s hefty collection. A lifetime New Yorker, Rob was once the publicist for the Jungle Brothers, worked with A Tribe Called Quest, and tells us some great stories about his time with artists such as the Beastie Boys and others. We discuss New York City, records (of course), the Roosevelt Hotel record show, and more. It was our distinct pleasure to have him sit in for a session, as well as give us an incredible all 45 guest set at the end of the show. We could have done 4 hours of just him and his records easy, so a second show is already being planned. For now, put on your headphones and enjoy this latest episode.
