Due out March 23rd, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Half picture disc, half clear vinyl. Lord Quas with brick on one side, and his "insides" show on the flip. Delivered in a clear polybag. "Planned Attack" is from the album Yessir Whatever, and "Talkin Shit" is a short, previously unreleased track. Both featuring and produced by Madlib. Artwork by Jeff Jank. On the crime-infested east side of Lost Gates CA, there is a vinyl pressing plant whose brochure says, "will do anything for a price." Back in the 70s & 80s, they specialized in private press porno soundtracks, but these days Madlib is their only customer. Delivering them a couple Quasimoto tracks with a drawing or two, here's the record they returned: a custom-shaped, half picture disc, half clear disc, with thick vinyl. One side is Quasimoto's "Planned Attack" from the album Yessir Whatever, and the flip side is the previously unreleased "Talkin' Shit," a short track with Lord Quas doing what he does best. Both tracks are produced-by and featuring Madlib. Artwork by Jeff Jank. Pictured  is the front, family-friendly side of the vinyl. The backside of the record, the "x-ray" portion, show's Quasimoto disgusting insides.

Naturally, this time he takes on the Godfather of Soul - no small feat as one of the most sampled artists in the history of music. TBG applies his signature chops and blaps on the apt named JB freaks "Pay Me Back My Money" and "Funky Drummers In A Space Suit" and once again proves what no longer needs to be proven - that he's got the skills and presence behind the boards to separate himself as one of the most unique and talented producers out there. Believe that!

1. "Pay Me Back My Money"

2. "Funky Drummers In A Space Suit"
