Strange Games and Funky Things Vol. 5

VINYL FORMAT. This double LP features the "unmixed" track listing (found on the second CD of the CD version). The Strange Games and Funky Things series, which began in the summer of 1997, represents the blueprint for modern R&B and rap music. It joins the dots between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mass market hip hop. This compilation contains a wide variety of styles of tracks, from classic dance-floor fillers as well as lesser known delights. A more accessible diggers delight, if you wish, with an emphasis on quality tracks and not just songs worth having for a two second sample. Featuring a much more worldly selection than its predecessors - tracks by the multi platinum selling War to Sylvia (founder of Sugarhill Records) sit side by side with world music underground icons like C.K. Mann and Francisco Aguabella. This volume is the fifth in a series of compilations that appears to have the widest appeal of all BBEs compilations.
