Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings Keep On Looking/N.B.L. 45rpm 7" Vinyl

Over the years Daptone H.Q. has been flooded with suggestions and requests for certain album tracks to be available on 45, so we've gone ahead and pressed up a few that are consistently at the top of the heap. First up we have "Keep On Looking," a track that debuted on SJDK's breakout album 100 Days, 100 Nights, which subsequently became a staple in the group's live set. The incessant backbeat and tight horn arrangement, coupled with Miss Jones's powerful plea to a lost lover provides unadulterated dance-floor fuego!

On the flip is a new discovery of sorts. While digging through the tape archive we stumbled across a box labeled "Natural Born Lover- Instrumental with Strings." Much to our delight what we found is precisely that: an unreleased instrumental version of the SJDK classic, featuring a string arrangement that was cut from its initial release. And as if the nasty drum break at the top wasn't enough to make this a shoo-in addition to DJ boxes and playlists alike, the gorgeous quirky string arrangement places this one soundly into "must have" territory.
