More Info
The legendary record label Brunswick Records is home to a plethora of amazing recordings from classic soul to rhythm & blues. In this collection we trawl through the vaults to present you with twelve of the finest funk inspired tracks which are sure to get you perspiring on the dance-floor.
Classics come in the way of Gene Chandler’s scintillating cover of James Brown’s There Was A Time, Erma Franklin’s Light My Fire from her timeless album Soul Sister and Exit 9 with Miss Funky Fox - a remarkable addition to the Brunswick catalogue given these musicians were only between the ages 16-20.
Dig a little deeper and we have supreme album cuts from Jackie Wilson, The Eliminators, The Young-Holt Unlimited, The Lost Generation, Total Eclipse and Willie Henderson. All of which will get your reaching for your original album copy.
Pressed on 140g black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and artwork reflecting the original Brunswick releases. This is an essential addition to anyone’s record collection.
