Crazy funk from a crazy-costumed geezer with an equally crazy name – one of those lost rare funky nuggets that's every bit as great as you might guess from the cover and title! Boobie Knight's a killer here – and works in a groove that's somewhere between Sly & The Family Stone and The Jimmy Castor Bunch – with all the freaky, fuzzy touches that reference might imply! His group has a definite guitar-heavy sound that's a bit blunted, and a bit trippy at times – but which also has a nice soulful edge at it's best moments – a sense of focus that gives the record more of a groove than other records of this nature from the period. The band here includes vocals by Al Johnson (who may well be the same Al Johnson who went onto later mellow soul fame) – and titles include the crazy "Earth Creature", plus "The Lovomaniacs", "Power Greater Than Man", "Feeling My Cheerios", and "Woman Will Make You Love". LP, Vinyl record album

A heady helping of hip hop samples – a collection that works plenty well on its own as a sweet batch of rare funky tracks, yet one that also features plenty of bits you'll recognize from famous samples too! The package features some great tracks used heavily in the early days of hip hop samples – kind of a return to the glory that the Harmless label first brought us with their wonderful collections The Breaks, from a decade or so ago! Titles include "Theme From The Planets" by Dexter Wansel, "Crumbs Off The Table" by Laura Lee, "I'm Glad You're Mine" by Al Green, "Razor Blade" by Little Royal, "Uphill Piece Of Mind" by Kid Dynamite, "Lovomaniacs" by Boobie Knight & The Universal Lady, "Come In Out Of The Rain" by Parliament, "Schoolboy Crush" by Average White Band, "I Can't Stop" by John Davis & The Monster Orchestra, "Wikka Wrap" by The Evasions, "Are You My Woman" by The Chi-Lites, "Devil With The Bust" by Sound Experience, and "Unhooked Generation" by Freda Payne.
