LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Label: GSF"

Alegendary funk album of the 70s -- a real gem through and through, and filled with the best range of sounds the east coast scene had to offer at the time! The Skull Snaps only cut this one album during the early 70s -- and it's a masterful blend of hard funk, sweet soul, and soaring group grooving -- a mix that hangs together perfectly over the years, and which has the group sounding equally great on heavy funk and more club-oriented tunes! The group grew out of the earlier Diplomats group. Titles include the monster break track "It's A New Day" (which virtually became the blueprint for hip hop at the end of the 90s!), the uptempo groover "Trespassing", and the righteous funky soul cut "I'm Your Pimp"! Other titles include "My Hang Up Is You", "Having You Around", "I'm Falling Out Of Love", and "All Of A Sudden"."
