Chocolate City was a Casablanca subsidiary exclusively dedicated to R&B artists. It was founded byCecil Holmes (II), Neil Bogart's co-worker and soundtrack music director during the Buddah years. Hewas also possibly a minor partner with Bogart in founding Casablanca Records.
Holmes had been in the record business for quite a long time. As a young man in the mid-1950s, hewas a lead singer for the Cavaliers Quintet, a Brooklyn-based vocal group who recorded for the Atlaslabel. Later, he joined the Fi-Tones, who also recorded for Atlas. He then, like Bogart, became a promoman in the industry, pushing records with radio stations. The two worked together at Buddah, then left toform Casablanca. The name of the Chocolate City label was taken from the title of a 1975 album byParliament that had been issued on Casablanca. From the design of the label, it appears to have beendesigned to be a "black Casablanca."
The artist roster included Cameo, Blacksmoke (aka Smoke), Brenda & the Tabulations, Vernon Burch,Starpoint, the 7th Wonder, Townsend Townsend & Rogers, Randy Brown, the Funkateers, Rosco &Mabel, and Kevin Moore. The label stars were Cameo and Starpoint.
After Casablanca was sold to PolyGram in 1980, the Chocolate City imprint was successful enough tocontinue under PolyGram. In 1982, however, Holmes left the label to become a vice president of EpicRecords, and was there during the Michael Jackson Thriller era. The Chocolate City label,deprived of its executive, quietly closed their doors.
The Chocolate City label was brown (which could change to a more orange one at random) with blacklettering and "Chocolate City" written in brown cursive lettering on the top and left half of the label and ablack "Bogart" character on the right. The following text is written in the form of an arc at the bottom ofthe label: "Manufactured and Distributed by Casablanca Records, Inc., 8255 Sunset Boulevard, LosAngeles, California 90046."

This is bugging me for some time now. The album "Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavoured Water" features the Dirt Road Remix of the song "Getcha Groove on". The original album though features the original song and not the Dirt Road Remix. The Dirt Road Remix was only released later on the remix album. I can't find the original song in the album nor anywhere else on Spotify.
I went to AllMusic, as they list on artist discography pages how many releases there have been with a given release of a band / artist. You can find all the releases of this titled release here from this link: -starfish-and-the-hot-dog-flavored-water-mw0000544330/release...
Seems from a wiki page search for the album title, that wiki only shows a remix version of the album available, and is not listing any content with an original track listing pre-remix version available of this release. Could possible be that the original tracks the band did originally is now out of print, and either the band or the label opted to go with remixed versions of this particular track and/or all tracks have been remixed for a later re-release remix version of this release you are looking for. _Starfish_and_the_Hot_Dog_Flavored_Water
I was able to find two releases available to me from that Limp Bizkit titled released from their artist page, I have provided both of them below. You can check the songs out from each release, each release has that song and seems to have different time stamps, might see if there is a difference between the two tracks?
Now what you said about Wikipedia confused me. I'm not sure if i understood you correctly but wikipedia DOES list the album tracks with the original song and NOT the remix. In fact that's all. I don't see any release on wiki with the DirtRoad mix
As to the spotify links you posted: (now it gets complicated^^) when i scroll through the tracklist here (i mean on this spotify community page on the embedded spotify player) i see both links exactly the same
Ah OK I see what you mean now. Not exactly sure why that release available to you with that release year, ended up with a track that was remixed many years later. Seems to be a meta data labelling mistake perhaps with the release you are seeing. Spotify users can report these errors by the information below. I ended up getting some information confused and crossed up when I made my post, my bad.
If you've seen either
- a track, album, or artist in our catalogue with incorrect information (i.e. wrong release year, misspelling, etc.)
- different artists in the same Artist Page
- incorrect cover arts
- incorrect artists biography
or
- a track or album that isn't playing correctly (i.e. a song only playing one second of music)
Then you can report the error using the Contact Form. Once there, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Click on "I want to report a broken song or wrong song information".
Step 2: Click on the Green Button that reads "I STILL NEED HELP".
Step 3: Copy and Paste the track URI links to the songs into the field that reads "Song URI".
Step 4: Type up a description of the track issues in the "Tell us more" field.
Step 5: Click on the green button "SEND QUESTION".
Be sure to include all Spotify URI's in the body of the message!
After contacting Customer Support, you should receive an automated response from Spotify. The tracks will then be aggregated and reported to the content provider. Customer Support will update their database with the correct information as soon as the label or aggregator has sent them an update with the correct data.
I think this song is becoming hard to find because the beat is entirely sampled from an obscure 70's instrumental I heard once on an indie French radio. Never found the track again, probably came out of some very deep crate digging from Lethal (who's getting all the credits for the beat)
I once read a short Wes Borland interview on Kerrang around 2008, when he still had beef with Limp Bizkit and hadn't come back yet. Back then he was still bitter about having been in the most hated band in America, and when asked by a British journalist about his least favourite LB songs, he stated one of them was "Getcha Groove On"
It's been mostly erased from the internet except for one seven string guitar forum but went like this : "We actually got sued over this piece of s***. There was some sort of sample used in it that someone didnt get full clearance for, so we ended up getting into some serious trouble for a little while."
And my personal thanks to @adrien_dsl for sharing with us all these details. My generation was mostly raised with artists like Limp Bizkit, Eminem and Dr. Dre and we all remember the thrill these guys used to spread from the MTV screen.
However, contents on Spotify really depend on agreements between the platform and rights holders, such as artists or record labels. And things are probably even more specific twenty years after the album release.
It's endlessly fascinating to hear how composers choose to wield their symphonic forces. Finnish composer Lotta Wennkoski, a new discovery for me, displays a bold Van Gogh sensibility for radiant coloration and quirky textures in three rigorously built pieces played by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.Joan Tower's undervalued Concerto for Piano (Homage to Beethoven) received a tremendous reboot at the hands ofMarc-Andr Hamelin, and we now have a fuller picture ofMissy Mazzoli the orchestral composer in the album Dark with Excessive Bright, highlighting four harmonically fresh, dramatically charged works.
Aside from the symphonic bonanza, there were heavenly vocals this year. The sunny-voiced tenorJonathan Tetelman released a resplendentPuccini disc, while the lateJessye Norman's discography grew with a three-disc set of previously unreleased recordings, and the French conductor Raphel Pichon issued a scorching rendition ofMonteverdi's Vespers of 1610. The new music vocal outfitRoomful of Teeth makes appearances on one of the year's most satisfying releases, STILLPOINT, marking the studio return, after a 12-year absence, of pianistAwadagin Pratt in six new works for piano.
For Those Who Like: T.S. Eliot, Roomful of Teeth, new piano music
The Story: A young Awadagin Pratt burst on the scene in the 1990s with awards, appearances on Sesame Street and Good Morning America and a big record deal. It's been 12 years since Pratt released an album, but what a comeback record he's made. Inspired by a few lines in T.S. Eliot's Burnt Norton, Pratt handed the text to six composers as a jumping-off point. What he got in return was a startling array of works ranging from solo piano to miniature piano concertos to works with orchestra, piano and voices.
The Music: The six works are as individual as their composers. Jessie Montgomery's Rounds is a rippling concerto, complete with virtuosic cadenza.Tyshawn Sorey's contribution channels Morton Feldman's austere, quiet canvases, with diaphanous vocals from Roomful of Teeth, who uncannily imitate the bird calls Paola Prestini writes into her Code, which takes further inspiration from Eliot's love letters. Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks scales down to solo piano and a theme of sacred ecstasy, while Alvin Singleton draws on Bach and jazz. Judd Greenstein's Still Point, another mini-concerto, is propelled by retro minimalist vocals and sweeping, neo-romantic gestures.
