Grading
Mint(M)
Record Grading Guide:
- Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.
- Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
- Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
- Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.
- Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.
- Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.
- Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.

Product Description
Originally released as a 12” single in 1982, ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ was the final record from Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist and producer Freddie Thompson’s Panaché band. Built around a fully cleared sampled bassline from ‘The Message’ by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ plays out like a summertime stroll through New York in the early 80s. The streets are full of excitement, but as the lyrics, written by vocalist Denise Williams (not to be confused with Deniece Williams of ‘Let’s Hear It For The Boy’ fame) make it clear, they’re dangerous as well. Thirty-nine years later, Isle of Jura is proud to present the first official 12” reissue of ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’.
A cult classic from the disco-rap era, the reissue includes the original vocal and instrumental versions of ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ plus a Jura Soundsystem special version with additional live percussion that blends the vocal and instrumental mixes into an extended 12 minute ride.
Originally made up of Freddie, his wife, the singer Debra Thompson and keyboardist Douglas Glover, Panaché formed at the behest of a local disco DJ, Carl Nelson. In the wake of Chic’s early singles, Carl felt a French name would give Freddie a competitive edge. “He explained it to us that it was a French word for style and elegance. Panaché, a step above chic,” Freddie reflects. Business minded, Freddie formed his own label, Roché Records and joined SIRMA - The Small Independent Music Manufacturers Association. “It was very hard for the independent manufacturers to get airplay and distribution at the time, so we all came together,” he remembers.
Through SIRMA, Freddie met Joe and Sylvia Robinson from Sugar Hill Records, who several years later, let him sample ‘The Message’ for ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’. In 1979, Panaché scored some radioplay when they covered ‘Not On The Outside’ by ‘60s D.C R&B group The Moments. Emboldened, they brought onboard backing vocalists and recorded their only album.
Panache saw the band blurring the boundaries between soul, jazz-funk and disco and become a sought after collectible. By 1982, Debra had stepped back, and one of Panaché’s backing singers was center stage, Denise Williams. “Denise was good with writing poetry,” says Freddie. "She had one called ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’. It was about the unrest that was going on in the city at the time. I thought I could do something with that.” After releasing ‘Every Brother Ain’t A Brother’ in 1982, Panaché quietly moved from center stage to behind the scenes.
Over the last thirty-nine years, Freddie has continued to work in the music industry as a session musician and producer. “As soon as we stopped trying to become stars as Panaché, we became busy working in the industry,” Freddie laughs. credits
Let customers speak for us
from 349 reviewsMy husband has been searching for this bag for the longest time, and he absolutely loves it! Thank you for the excellent customer service . If you haven't seen his video yet, check it out on his Instagram: @djkered. We truly appreciate it!

For the better part of a DECADE, I've been looking for a DJ bag that wouldn't fall apart at the stitching. Myriads of money spent, hunting for a bag that was as durable as it portrayed, while not looking like Bowser's shell hulking off of my back and concussing people from bumps on the train.
Funny enough to find that it's a hunt that a ton of DJs in my circle had gone through; all of us relegated to using whatever backpack might fit everything, hoping that the zippers lasted longer than their predecessors. This last spring, sitting down with some of that same cirlce, Tucker-Bloom got brought up by a DJ I admire; a recommendation packed up with the phrase "I have traveled across the country and around the world with it, and it hasn't flinched."
I was sold. I bought the bag while sitting at the breakfast table with all of them, and waited with hopeful anticipation that it'd match the praise it'd been given. I'm happy to say that it did all of that, so much more, and so *MUCH MORE* than I'd expected.
The folks at Tucker-Bloom had hit a snafu with materials for my bag, and reached out to let me know. They kept me abreast of changes and hang-ups throughout the entire process, which gave me such a peace of mind from the customer-side care alone that I figured that the bag HAD TO hit all the marks. The bag arrived damn near perfect..and fit EVERYTHING my gigantic "DJ lifestyle" bag held PLUS MORE.
I'd happily recommend this bag and Tucker-Bloom to any DJ that's looking for something that's not only well-made, but will last through travel, record packing, laptop safety, extras, and will still fit snacks + a book for the train.
Hats off, Tucker-Bloom.

Purchased on a whim and I don’t think I’ve ever been more comfortable in a tshirt. The fit and feel is exceptional. I’m 5’11”, 190lbs.

I love it. It is so deep. It can be a break out purse for my larger bag. It has been excellent for travel and I don't have to worry about ink stains or spills inside.

The tote arrived with superb quality and was given as a graduation gift. It makes a perfect gift for an occasion like graduation, because it has a multitude of uses and it's durable quality makes it evident that a graduate entering their career can use the tote forever.

I treated myself to the Transit Pass waist pack just in time for holiday travel. Not only does the nubbed leather smell even better than the picture on the screen. It feels comfortable and as snug or loose as you want to set it around your waist. ID & passport - check. Boarding pass on mobile phone - check. Hard candy - check. And you don't look like you're having a fanny. I actually wear mine on the front, a little to the side. Just like the medieval lady of the castle wore her keys to the pantry and to the women's chambers...

Very nice high quality back with very well thought out design essential for any self respecting vinyl collector who shares their talent publicly.

This sturdy sidekick goes with me eveywhere and keeps everything organized and within hand's reach. Zipper pocket holds way more than I imagined. On an average day it's filled with my wallet, smokes, keys, glasses, usb sticks and other random items. The two pockets arw great for things you reach for often. Mine usually has a lighter and my cell. I usually wear it across my chest but it also works like a money belt (or hip sack) around your waste which I've done on some travel days when discretion is advised. Quality is bullet proof. Another T&B sure shot.

I just absolutely love the bag. They accommodate my need of a faster shipping, just in time to take my vinyls to a gig. If you read this you should buy a bag. You’ll not regret it.

Lovely product, and is the exact specifications to pass a frontier airlines free carry on. 😆
