First time vinyl reissue of this incredible library record, as part of Be With Records‘ crucial Music De Wolfe reissue campaign.

This is that absolute stank-face filth: hard, espionage drama-soul and tough, jazzy street-funk. Hogan, The Hawk & Dirty John Crown sounds like the soundtrack of a blaxploitation movie from the early 70s and, packed with funky fusion and smoother orchestral numbers, it is basically that.

Featuring a veritable who’s who of killer library break snakes – Alan Parker, Alan Hawkshaw (under sneaky alias William Parrish), Simon Haseley, Reg Tilsley and Gordon Grant – it’s not hard to see how this commands over 350 on secondary markets.
