Description
A small Saturday tidy turns into a mellow catch-up, and this 45 keeps the room buoyant without strain. Gladiators – The Nighthawk E.P. (1983) arrives on 45RPM red and white splattered vinyl, pulling choice cuts from their Nighthawk era into one concise hit of roots reverence. Pressed at 45RPM, the low end sits deeper. There’s a little rimshot pickup before the second verse on the opener that snaps cleaner than any old pressing I’ve heard. On the flip, the closer rides a bubbling organ line that threads the harmonies without crowding them. File it next to Culture’s early 80s sides, though The Gladiators lean warmer and more conversational than militant. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Gladiators records online with us. Imaging feels solid down the center, with percussion set back just enough. For Melbourne collections, this is the bridge between their Island or Virgin heyday and the leaner Nighthawk focus, and it earns repeat spins. Red and white splatter looks sharp on the shelf. An easy pick for roots heads building a steady shelf of classics.
