So funky

"So much like James Brown it's eerie ... if you want something other than rap to move your party, this is it, man ... some titles so classic they're funny, from "Funky Train" to "[Santa's got a] Bag of Soul.""

This CD is a party pressed onto a silver disc!

"Flip this disc onto your CD platter, give it a push and you're grooving in a 70's inspired, down and dirty party sound. It's such a strong git-up-and-move-your-booty, dead people can get down. It even gave me the energy to clean the house to it, and I never clean."

"After listenin' to the audio samples there ain't no two ways about it ....you gotta have this album ! rite?

Absolutleh!! This album features top picks in the best quality.But before you think you have stumbled upon a compilation of rare grooves you might wanna read this...

This compilation as well as More Original Raw Soul, the sequel are both compilations of tracks by the Poets Of Rhythm, a band infact from the early 90's.Their signature sounds are based upon classic 60's funk so u might think u listenin' to some rare 45.Well you ain't ...but this is one of the greatest and possibly the only old skool funk bands of our time!

This album is "All Killer No Filler" from start to end.And the highlights being ORFI&II and Bag Of Soul.The original Santa's Got a Bag Of Soul can be sampled at www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk

May be a lill' hard to find at times because of Ltd. stock issues.....in such cases it's worth the wait!"
