Various Artists - Brunswick Funk

140-gram vinyl

Twelve funk grooves from the legendary Chicago Brunswick label featuring dance floor winners and sampled cuts from Jackie Wilson, Erma Franklin & Young-Holt Unlimited plus rare tracks from The Eliminators, Total Eclipse and Floyd Smith. The legendary record label Brunswick Records is home to a plethora of amazing recordings from classic soul to rhythm & blues. In this collection we trawl through the vaults to present you with 12 of the finest funk inspired tracks which are sure to get you perspiring on the dance floor.

Classics come in the way of Gene Chandler's scintillating cover of James Brown's "There Was A Time," Erma Franklin's "Light My Fire" from her timeless album Soul Sister and "Exit 9" with Miss Funky Fox — a remarkable addition to the Brunswick catalog given these musicians were only between the ages 16-20. Dig a little deeper and we have supreme album cuts from Jackie Wilson, The Eliminators, The Young-Holt Unlimited, The Lost Generation, Total Eclipse and Willie Henderson. All of which will get your reaching for your original album copy.
