Customer Reviews

Damn fine ...but missing the icing...
Without any doubt this is a fine compilation of some truly outstanding tracks, if you've got your funk on then you will be well served by most of what's on offer here. Rock creek park (in particular) is a soul-funk anthem of legendary status, and the detroit emeralds (baby let me take you) are a much underrated outfit capable of superbly laid back grooves and pleasing ,mellow vocals. I only missed out giving a 5 star rating simply because this kind of compilation (nearly!) always has to compromise somewhere-filler this baby!-for whatever reason..

However, one mans(or wo-mans) filler is anothers class track. Well worth shelling out on
