a well put together collection of funk and soul from the seattle area, circa 1965-75. if you know and dig "funky 16 corners", you should check it out. as with all comps of this genre, there are a couple of marginal inclusions, but there are definitely enough cuts on here to make it worth your while. and the liner notes are very well researched. you won't be disappointed.

This is one of the better widely available funk comps out there. Varied mix of groovers and shakers from the Pacific Northwest - the vibe ranges from soul to 60's/70's pop covers with a funk edge to straight-up funk to some jazz-funk rarities. Almost guaranteed that you won't find any of these songs anywhere else, unless you pick up the original vinyl at a tag sale in Tacoma. The only reason this is a 4 star record is that you can hear some of the original vinyl pops and hisses from the transfer - to pro-tools editing on this one, but it almost enhances the rare groove experience.
