CD

✈
A killer batch of righteous soul and funk cuts – put together with a good ear for the more progressive sounds of the late 60s and early 70s! The general theme is party party party, with a slight dash of politics thrown into the mix – and the set's an excellent batch of cuts that includes many numbers we've never seen reissued properly before! Totall winners include "Cadillac Jack" by Andre Williams, "How You Gonna Get Respect?" by Hank Ballard, "Funky Walk (part 2)" by Dyke & The Blazers, "Mashed Potato Popcorn (parts 1 & 2)" by James Brown, "Hip City (parts 1 & 2)" by Jr Walker, "SOUL" by S.O.U.L., "The Ali Shuffle" by Alvin Cash, "Funky Hot Pants" by Wee Willie Mason, and "Soul Train" by Little Royal. 14 cuts in all – and all funky!  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Used CD Grade

We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
