Funky 45's — All Formats  

A great funky 45 collection! The set's a brilliant package from the crate-digging funk-searching team at Now Again – and features repressings of 7 rare funk singles, all with the original label, packaged into a cool box that comes with an oversized booklet that contains information on all the artists, and some very cool vintage photos! The whole thing's tremendous – a funk compilation to beat Funky 16 Corners set from Stones Thrown, and packaged in a way that vinyl-digging funk hounds can really appreciate it! Titles include "Dap Walk" and "Things Are Better" by Ernie & The Top Notes, "Popcorn 69" and "Sissy Walk" by Billy Ball & The Upsetters, "Mr Chicken" and "The Cissy's Thang" by Soul Seven, "Heart N Soul" and "Maxi Midi" by Booker T Averheart, "Trespasser (parts 1 & 2)" by Bad Medicine, "Funky Soul Music (parts 1 & 2)" by Soul Commanders, and "I've Got To Find A Way" and "The Dump" by Soul Vibrations.

A great little box set of Syl Johnson sides from Numero's epic, jaw-droppingly far-reaching Complete Mythology package! The purpose here was not only put together a beautiful, more portable vinyl sampler of the amazing 6LP/4CD complete set, they also did it to represent the breadth of Syl's soul genius and mastery of a range of styles over years. Honestly, we can't imagine how difficult it must have been to pick standout tracks to feature here, but however many blood-vessels in the brain they must have busted to choose the best, it delivers perfectly. Packaged in a white box that's sealed with custom Syl Johnson craft tape! "Do You Know What Love Is" b/w "The Love I Found in You", "My Funky Band" b/w "Sockin’ Soul Power", "Double Whammy" b/w "Wiggle In Your Hips", "Right On" b/w "Pt. 2", "Try My Love Again" b/w "All I Need Is Someone Like You".
