2010, Jazzman Records
Subtitled: Sixteen Heavy-Weight Super-Tough Deep-Funk Ultra-Rarities. 2006 release. British multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ, remixer and band leader Quantic is known around the world for his blistering stage performances with his band the Quantic Soul Orchestra. His ear for a good tune and his feel for a good rhythm didn't come from nowhere - you see, Quantic has been collecting rare funk 45s for years, and in that time he has absorbed every drum kick, every horn line and every guitar lick into his very soul. It's hard to make good music without drawing upon good influences. So along with Quantic, Jazzman has unearthed some of the very best and rarest funk 45s known (and unknown) to man, totally remastered from the original tapes. These records are pure quality - the exorbitant prices that collectors will pay for the originals lays testament to that, and will stand the test of time as a barometer of good ol' funky music that is truly inspirational and addictively danceable. It's a shame that the original 45s are so rare, with only a few hundred being pressed in many cases, but it is possible that with such rarity comes excellence, distinction, and quality. Full liner notes in a full-color booklet includes an introduction by Quantic, a color label scan for each record, artist photos, and a rarity guide. Listen, learn and enjoy. Artists include: Larry Ellis, The Soul Lifters, The Shades Of Black, The Prepositions, Vern Blair, The Latin Breed, Herman Hitson, Brothers 7, Soul Excitement, Gene Anderson, Tony Bowens, The PC's Ltd, Sandi & Matues, The M&S Band, James Polk, and The Great Deltas.
