Quality Funk
A unique collection of some true gems. While "Funky Thing" is the highlight the rest of these rare funk 45s while have your heading bobbing in apprication. Well worth the purchase price if you have even a passing interest in this genre.
Definately worth listening to
This is one of the best funk collections I've got hold of in the past few years, and I'd rate it up along with DJ Greyboy's Shades of Grey. There are a few tracks you could call 'fillers', but then there's pure quality genuine funk tracks such as 'Funky Thing', 'Hot, Funky and Sweaty', 'Something Different' (my personal favourite), and 'The World'.
I have nothing against so-called 'fillers', and infact it's rare that any compliation can be perfectly suited to someones musical taste. However, some of these tracks are very screechy, vocally stereotypical funk which seem to be on the cd only because the track contains vocals with the word 'funk' in them.
All in all, it's a great album if you like the genre.
They may be rare....
...for a reason.
Beautifully presented & researched (I still have a fascination with vinyl & I loved the original label scans in the booklet) Quantic proudly proclaim this is a selection of the heaviest, rarest & funkiest in demand singles on the planet.
Well I guess not so in demand now (or rare) as they have just released this cd.
The problem is the songs really aren't very good. Most are based on a simple organ/guitar riff (with maybe a bit of 70's soul man gruff vocals added) that is repeated for three minutes before fading out. Wow. It would be a good challange Davina to play snippets of these tracks in random & name 'em. Maybe if you had a spare week...
Buy for the booklet, not for the music
