So disappointed.

This is a double disc set. After the third song on the first disc, the disc was so scratched that no other songs would play. So disappointed.

Great Tracks-Great Price-Great Deal!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2006

Hard to ask for much more - 45+ killer funk & soul tracks from the early 1970's. There's a few movies missing (like Shaft) so while the movies might've been low budget and some forgotten - the music tracks and soundtrack are all classy, funky and deserve to be remembered. So, even if you don't recognize a lot of the names or the tracks, once you hear the tracks - you'll apprecaite a time when singers were true musicians.

Most Enjoyable CD I've Bought This Year

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2001

This is an extraordinarily solid collection of classic urban rhythm and blues, ranging from well-known hits like Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly" to underground gems like Gil Scott Heron's "The Bottle." There's lots of music (over 2 1/2 hours), it's well sequenced, and the sound quality is excellent. One of the joys of this sort of music is staying with the groove, and you get long versions of quite a few of the tracks, including the 10-minute take of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone."
Perhaps I'll get a few "not helpful" votes for saying this, but the contrast between this music and today's rap is striking and more than a little depressing. Many emotions are expressed here -- rage, joy, determination, longing and fatalism. But this is music about surviving in a harsh environment. It's not music that celebrates the pathologies that help make the environment harsh in the first place.

Truly, a must have for soul, funk, and jazz enthusiasts!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2000

A culmination of the innner city spirit, containing a myriad of soul classics and hard to find cuts. From jazz filled instrumentals backed by driving baselines, such as Deodato's "September 13th", to the smooth baritone and rolling drum crescendos of Gil Scott Heron's "Gun" this album captures the essence of an era. Classics, such as Mayfield's "Superfly" or James Brown's "The Boss" are only part of the mosaic which constitutes this collection. William De Vaughan's "Be Thankful for What You Got" reminds me of classic cruising beats like War's "Low Rider" and Grover Washington Jr.'s "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" with it's pumping beat, hard baseline, and wailing saxaphone will cause even the most stiff head to begin bobbing. Many tracks contained on this album have continued their legacy, spawning the samples of todays hip-hop culture. Overall, The Best of Blaxploitation is a must have, enjoyable listening from the first track to the last, and never ending replay value. You will not be disapointed.

Soundtrack to the Seventies

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2002

This collection could almost be my personal soundtrack from my high school years in NYC. There are some incredible gems from the early seventies just prior to the disco years. I'm happy to see some rare favorites like Be Thankful For What You've Got, Trouble Man, Across 110th Street and Expansions. There are also some very obscure ones - Hercules, Gun, Celestial Blues that I was not familiar with, and of course the standard "cliche" hits - Superfly, Theme From Shaft, The Bottle, Papa was a Rolling Stone. Whoever is responsible for assembling this collection must have been there.

3,5/5

L'excuse est trop belle !, une anthologique collection de la funk soul des années 70 (les meilleures !) avec comme prétexte l'utilisation de ses titres dans les divers films Blaxploitation. Évidemment, vendue pour une minuscule poignée d'euros, cette triple galette est emballée un peu cheap, une simple petite boites de carton, trois cédés glissés dedans, des livrets à minima, c'est pas l'extase côté présentation et information mais la musique rattrape aisément le coup, et puis à ce prix, impossible de (trop) faire la fine bouche, n'est-ce pas ? Parce que l'essentiel est bel et bien dans cette exquise collection de vrais standards soul/funk des seventies mais aussi d'autres dont on n'identifiait pas forcément les auteurs ou dont on ne connaissait carrément pas l'existence. Évidemment, on ne manquera pas de constater, même si on n'est pas un spécialiste de la chose, quelques gouffres trop béants pour un coffret se voulant le best of de la Blaxploitation. Comment, par exemple, ne pas se surprendre de l'absence d'un Isaac Hayes et de son inusable Theme from Shaft ? Ce vrai défaut mis à part, vouloir venter plus haut que son séant mais pour, répétons-le, un prix réellement modique, The Best of Blaxploitation est une belle collection soul/funk des années 70 qu'on choisira si on n'en a pas trop ailleurs.

bien sur quelques titres phare (james, curtis, marvin)mais surtout beaucoup de morceaux peu connus et diffusés, de bonne facture pour l'ensemble, sans que l'on ait le sentiment de réécouter ad libitum la même pièce.. des morceaux samplés des années plus tard, gage de leur qualité et de leur importance pour la suite de la musique noire américaine. une super compilation qui donne l'envie et les moyens d'explorer plus avant cette période.
