More Info
The “Ultrafunk” self-titled album kicked off with ‘Kung Fu Man’ that featured the vocals of Mr. Superbad himself Freddie Mack, the face and voice of the “Superbad” compilation series. This unique package brings you the full-length album version, plus the 7” version and instrumental version as bonus tracks. Also featured on the album are ‘Sting Your Jaws’ Part One & Two.
“Meat Heat” featured another club classic in ‘Gotham City Boogie’, plus ‘Sunrise’ from the movie Car Wash.
Ultrafunk liked to put their spin on some of the great soul tracks that were around at the time, so you will find versions of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Living For The City’ and ‘I Wish’, along with Bill Withers’ ‘Use Me’ and ‘Who Is He And What Is He To You’. The package also contains B sides that were not included on the original albums.
