I picked this up a few weeks ago, and have to say I've been floored by the content. I've been a subscriber to the terrific WP magazine for only about a year now, and this Anthology helped me to catch up with some of what I'd missed. It starts with amazing interviews with the biggest named in Funk/Soul/Jazz drumming--the men who's drumming has built the core of the sampling culture that followed their generations work. Further articles delve into Hip-hop and Dub Reggae. Since all this may inspire you to increase your own collection of delicious vinyl, they even have a DIY article on building record shelves.
Essential reading for lovers of old-school Hip-hop, Funky Jazz, Funk, or music in general.
