Ships Media Mail. This is a new unsealed album, the cover has some creases.
Recorded between 1968 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Egon. All tracks have been digitally remastered. This
outstanding collection of funk singles compiled by Stones Throw Records
includes 16 songs recorded between 1968 and 1974 by obscure underground
groups from America. One of the strongest crossover funk labels of the
last decade, Stones Throw pays due respect to modern music's forgotten
grandfathers on this most grooving recorded history lesson of impeccable
quality. Anchored by the Highlighters' classic "The Funky 16 Corners,"
whereby the Indianapolis group upped the ante in 1969's craze for bands
counting "corners" (read: hit me three times!) by breaking the recorded
benchmark with 16, this compilation leans heavily on the James Brown
sect and celebrates the lesser-known groups of the genre, who with high
talent and low budget put to tape some of the most raw funk ever
captured to date. Representative modernist Cut Chemist of Jurassic 5
even gets an interpretation slot with "Bunky's Pick" on one of two bonus
tracks. Every track is essential to the record and every groove a lost
gem. An informative 16-page booklet with full-color photos is included. ~
