Since it first appeared on the scene in 1999, Super Funk has become a market leader in the release of rare and previously unreleased cuts aimed firmly at the deep funk dancefloor. Super Funk is back after three years a... more »bsence, with its best volume musically and some of the scene's absolute rarest records. These are joined by some underplayed classics and an amazing eight unreleased monsters. Of the rarities, the Uniques' ultra-expensive `Give Me Another Chance' has been creating the most fuss. Only one copy of this record has been found and was snapped up by DJ Ian Wright for $3000 and is currently filling dance floors the world over. `Hi Off Life' by the Eternal Flames is almost as rare, with only a small handful of this excellent slice of Ghetto Funk ever having turned up. Produced by Fatback's Bill Curtis, the band were a bunch of Queens teenagers aiming for their one shot at glory, which never came. Smithtonian's `Just Sitting', a glorious slice of hip hop-style funk, is so rare because it is the B-side of a record that only turns up as a one (A) sided promo; it is so sought-after because it is so good. In the unreleased stakes we have cuts by Dyke and the Blazers, an alternate take of The Phillips Brothers' super-rare `Now' single, as well as an unreleased Pt 2 and a whole new unreleased cut. DJ Snowboy has been going wild over our unreleased version of James Brown's `Mother Popcorn', whilst many more will go crazy for the brilliant 87Th Off Broadway's `Can't Get Enough', a discovery from some vaults in San Francisco. From the classics file we have Alvin Cash's super-funky 70s remake of `Twine Time' and Jackie Wilson's `Shake A Leg', a track so full of life that you think Jackie has come back from the grave every time you hear it.« less

"I'm a big fan of good, funky, groovy music from "back in the day", seeing that that was the music I listened to and influenced my listening choices even to this day. But when I bought this and listened to it, it was like being a kid all over again! I laughed a lot during this episode, my cheeks hurting me enough until I eventually had to turn it off just to recover from the cramps in my face! This is some solid stuff here. If you don't have this, buy this now; but beware of the cheek cramps!!!"
