RATING4/5
Blimey how did Volumes 1 and 2 slip under my radar if Volume 3 is this good? Let me ask you some questions? Do you like funk and soul? Do you like Hammond organs, wah wah guitar and brass horns? Did you think that there could be no more soul funk gems to unearth? Did you think you knew all about the new 'old-sounding' funk (e.g. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings)? If you're answering yes to some (or all) of the above then you're in the position I was in before hearing this. Basically some people at an obscure Italian label with a massive soul/funk fixation (and let's face it, probably a propensity for riding unsilenced Lambrettas at four a.m. while you're trying to get to sleep because, like, the Europeans don't even go out for their early evening pre-club drink until gone midnight) have compiled a selection of funky grooves made up of genuine sixties rare classics and new stuff that sounds like it must have been produced between '67 and '71. Remember 'acid jazz' from the 90s? Yeah? Crap wasn't it? This is nothing like that dreary b*ll*cks. Buy it and see people struggle to stop moving.
