Release Notes:


Spread across a varied live scene, the influence of
imported US funk & soul loomed large in early æ70s
British pop, rock and jazz. Artists like Gonzales,
Joe CockerÆs Grease Band, Carol Grimes and Kokomo
headed a healthy jam band culture in the countryÆs
pubs and clubs, Average White Band and Cymande
successfully crossed the Atlantic and visiting West
African groups like The Funkees, Matata and Osibisa
became staples of LondonÆs thriving live circuit.
This was the heyday of venues like the George
Canning in Brixton, The Roundhouse and the PeopleÆs
Club and is an era fondly remembered by the
musicians themselves for its spontaneity and sheer
quality of musicianship. The artists have also
inadvertently become regular sample sources in the
world of hip hop, with Eminem, 2Pac, Arrested
Development, TLC and more all looking to original
Brit-funk for their riffs.

Enjoy this fine Release ! :)
