Strange Games and Funky Things Vol. 5

VINYL FORMAT. Tracks: "Faded Lady" b/w "Faded Lady (Instrumental)." Limited to 1000 copies! This 7" is presented as a single off of the Strange Games and Funky Things compilation from BBE. 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.

"The S.S.O. Orchestra from Belgium released 'Faded Lady' back in '76, which later became a classic hip hop breakbeat. Enchanting strings and a killer bass line were more than enough reason for Diamond D to sample it on his debut album, and more recently Busta Rhymes sampled it as well." - Moovmnt.com
