Various Artists - Tax Scam Funk & Boogie - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: In the mid 1970’s some record tag executives discovered it was entirely possible, due to a loophole in the law, to create a new tag as a subsidiary to the major tag, and to write this new tag off as a large tax loss in order to help the major tag remain profitable. These companies would as many as 100 albums over the course of a few years, and the entire batch would be listed as unsold. Actually the ones they pressed (they’d claim to press something like 10,000, when in actuality they’d only press a few hundred) were never really even attempted to be sold, ending up in cut-out bins and cut-out warehouses. The records contained material from their vaults such as demos, unreleased scrapped projects, tapes they acquired from other record labels, etc. The band and artist names were totally made up with minimal album art, fake titles, fake artists, fake credits. This practice only happened for a couple of years as the government got hip and the loophole was closed. Meanwhile, over the years some of these “fake” albums gained an audience, and because of their scarcity, have become quite collectable. Presented here is “Tax Scam Funk & Boogie,” a collection of some of the funkier things that appeared on these labels – after all, it was the mid 1970’s at the height of the funk and boogie movement. All selections have been newly remastered. Album Tracks 1. Funk Me Baby 2. Hide and Seek (Part I) 3. Dancing Free 4. Love Potion #7 5. Booty Bump (California Style) 6. Super Fine from Behind Lady 7. You Got the Rest of Me 8. Funk Walk (The Monkey Walk) 9. My Baby's Coming Back 10. The Fool Ain't Cool 11. Dance for Me 12. Back in My Life 13. Hide and Seek (Part II) 14. Dancing Free (Disco Version) 15. Mo' Booty Bump (California Style) 16. Love Potion #7 (Instrumental) 17. Superfine from Behind Lady (Instrumental)

It was released on August 10, 1979, following Jackson's critically well-received film performance in The Wiz.

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album. It was his first solo under Epic Records, the tag he would record on until his death roughly 30 years later. Album Tracks 1. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 2. Rock with You 3.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including for Album of the Year. Album Tracks 1. Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Jackson, Michael 6 03 2.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1.
