Longtime RBMA content team soldier Chairman Jeff(erson) Mao shakes the dust off the “record” button at his Harlem NYC rest and presents a new episode of his long lost [Across 135th Street](http://www.egotripland.com/chairman-mao-soul-mix-across-135th-street-audio/ "egotrip") programme. This edition is composed entirely of soul/funk/northern/mod/modern/disco recordings from the 60s/70s/80s pressed on those little records with the big holes in the middle (which are way too trendy now, but hey, it is what it is). A few random observations on the material: the use of parenthesis on the title of the *Johnnie Mae Matthews* track may or may not be absolutely necessary; the *Ray J*. featured herein is not that Ray J.
