Hip Service - Uncovered - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Three CD set. 2019 UK collection. For the very first time you can now get your hands on a definitive collection of the funk and soul sensation that is The Bar-Kays. Robinsongs are proud to be the first tag to combine the Warner Brothers, Volt, Stax and Mercury repertoire to make this a unique compilation that covers the period from 1967 through 1989. The package features every single one of their Top 10 R&B Hits 'Soul Finger', 'Son Of Shaft', 'Shake Your Rump To The Funk', 'Too Hot To Stop', 'Holy Ghost', 'Move Your Boogie Body', 'Boogie Body Land', 'Hit And Run', 'Do It (Let Me See You Shake)', 'Certified True' and 'Freakshow On The Dancefloor'. Other tracks of note included in this package are 'Let's Have Some Fun', 'Dirty Dancer', 'Attitudes' and the full-length album version of 'Money Talks' plus the dance floor smash 'Sexomatic'. The history of the Bar-Kays is one of tragedy and triumph, plane crash to Gold Discs, Otis Redding to Isaac Hayes, which is all wonderfully summed up in a 24 page color booklet including an essay by Christian John Wikane, a New York based music journalist with contributions by the band's former front man Larry Dodson.

Three CD compilation featuring all of Jimmy Castor's R&B chart hits. This package is jammed packed full of Funk. With sleeve notes by MOJO and Record Collector journalist Charles Waring. Despite unashamedly injecting an infectious sense of fun and irreverence in his take on funk - as evidenced on early 70s hits 'Troglodyte (Cave Man)' and 'Bertha Butt Boogie' - Jimmy Castor was a serious musician who more than lived up to his nickname, InchThe Everything ManInch. He could sing as well as play the saxophone, piano, vibraphone, and assorted percussion instruments, and if that wasn't enough, he was also an accomplished bandleader, arranger and producer. This package features the Top Ten Pop and R&B Hit and probably The Jimmy Castor Bunch's most notable song 'Troglodyte (Cave Man)', an amusing story of a stone age man narrated by Castor over a searing funk groove, it was certainly a stylistic anomaly compared with the rest of the album. Other notable tracks on the package are 'The Bertha Butt Boogie', 'Potential', 'King Kong', 'Supersound', 'Bom Bom' and 'Space Age' 12Inch Disco Mix. Album Tracks 1.
