Why not order it from Buy.com. It's only $32 if you check out using google checkout. This is a crazy low price for this set. I paid $40 and thought that was a good price.

E-Music Pimpin'

[Man with the Golden Arm]

I recently settled up a playlist of mostly e-music grabs from the Ubiquity label along with a few from a disc called 'Vital Organs'.

onehundrednineteenminutes&fifteensecondsofpuresalaappp!

[Noj]

Nice list, MWTGA!

"Hector" by the Village Callers is a personal favorite. "Ah, Hector, you're our manager, but you sure are ugly Hector! Tienes la cara de lastima, Hector! Como estas? Horrible! You know?"

[Man with the Golden Arm]

heh, thanks ... love that Hector too. rolls right into (tip o' the fedora) JSangry's Darondo: "Legs"!

just sampled a few from the above Soul Fires and looks like another platter is in the mix.

and here I was only gonna do emusic for a month.

any other fav funky / rare groove comps?

[John B]

any other fav funky / rare groove comps?

This is one of my favorites:

The Funky 16 Corners - released by Stones Throw.

[John B]

I'd also recommend Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974, Vol. 1, which is their "follow up" to 16 Corners as well as their Midwest Funk and Texas Funk compilations.

Their website says that Funky 16 Corners has recently been remastered using more original source tapes.

[Noj]

The entire Funkaphonix series on Electrostatic and the Natural Funky series on Soul Patrol are my favorites. They go out of stock fast on Dusty Groove, but they're all worth checking out. I also like the BGP comps such as King Funk or Westbound Funk or Superfunk or Get Your Lie Straight.

[John B]

The Numero Group label has been releasing some fantastic discs that, while not purely funk, would be worth your while to explore. I love all of their releases that I have heard:

Good God! A Gospel Funk Hymnal

Cult Cargo: Belize City Boil Up

Eccentric Soul: The Bandit Label

Eccentric Soul : The Capsoul Label

Eccentric Soul : The Deep City Label

[Noj]

I haven't heard of those John, now I'm on the hunt!

There's also some cool 2cd sets called The First Days Of Funk from the Electrostatic folks, but they're a bit spottier than the Funkaphonix discs.

Black Chains & Exhaust is another good one.

The Dusty Fingers series on Strictly Break Records is fun too. In addition, they put out those sample-give-away records with songs sampled by De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, and others.

[John B]

I haven't heard of those John, now I'm on the hunt!

Do a label search for Numero Group over at the Aquariusrecords website. They have sound clips for all of these discs. I really think you'd like them, given what I know of your tastes. The label puts out a very high quality release. Lots of research and well written liner notes, too.
