those Phat Trax compilations are excellent,but why did they stop?! They need to continue this series,there are so many more songs that could be added (btw,I started a thread about their 'Smooth Grooves' CDs). | |

The collection also features an unreleased, alternate version of "Rock Steady" recorded in 1970 by Aretha Franklin. One of three versions recorded during the session, Franklin is backed by her red-hot studio and touring band, King Curtis and The Kingpins. With a final section that slows to a stop before disappearing in reverb, the version included here differs significantly from the previously available versions.

I think the operative term is "Rare Grooves". JB cuts are fairly easy to find. The selections they've included by artists like Howard Tate - 8 Days On The Road, very few folks have ever even heard of. I've done posts on Howard Tate in the past and basically get...  (deer in the headlights mode)

I haven't heard most of those songs. At least I don't think I have. I may check out one of the discs if they sell them seperately. If I like it, I'll check out the rest.
It will be the first time in years that I won't be buying a compilation to get one or two songs that I don't have on a disc full of duplicates of songs I already have. Andy is a four letter word. | |

They need to continue it endlessly like they did with that "Have A Nice Day: Sounds of The 70s" series. They probably have about 87 volumes of it. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Those covers are beautiful...I'm not a funk expert, but in terms of artwork, funk records were the best!  | |
