All my life, I have been collecting funk records.
I love all music, but I love American funk from the 60s & 70s best of all.
Just when I thought I'd heard every thumping tune from the era; this album of came along and blew me away with its top-drawer collection of "heavy funk rarities".
A revelation.

I wanted something seriously funky. I Got it. This is one of those records that cuts straight to the chase, lays down the gauntlet, tells you it means business from the starting gun. We kick off with the funky as,"The Thing," with it's choppy riff. Then the enormous base and the cheeky trumpets come in on, "Free Your Mind," which somehow manages to flutter off into a trippy melodic groove half way through. And there are sixteen tracks on this album!
No fillers here, pretty much everything is going to cut up any self-respecting dance floor. I love the popping,"Loaded to the gills," the ultra heavy,"slipping into the darkness,"the pounding title track and the seething, swinging,"The sad chicken."(Not many albums end on such as high note.) Off the map funky

This is a quality compilation of long lost and forgotten hard and heavy US funk records from the late 60s and early 70s. The real attraction of this album is the rawness of the sound - recorded on limited budgets with limited resources, these songs do not suffer from over-production and this in turn lends them an almost live sounding vibe. The musicianship is never less than faultless and if you like heavy bass, solid percussion and stabbing horn sections then look no further. All tracks have been re-mastered and restored and the overall sound quality is excellent. Clocking-in at just over an hour and housed in a jewel case with a comprehensive 28 page inlay (featuring very detailed liner notes and archive photos), this is top drawer hard, heavy, dirty, raw and obscure funk. Although billed as Volume 1, a second volume does not appear to be forthcoming.
