PrintableAnyone know what's going on over at Funkytown Grooves? Their reissues have slowed down considerably over the past few months. They only announced a couple of reissues for 2016 so far and the Dionne Warwick reissues they announced last spring continue to be in limbo. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!
