This release is a real treat for funk bands as BGP gathers up the highly sought-after recordings of New York Funk band the Pazant Brothers, who were originally the house band at GWP Records.Produced from original master tapes and with an in-depth booklet that includes interviews with Al and Ed Pazant, and also the band's produceer Ed Bland for a full overview of their career.The compilation starts with their rare GWP singles that now fetch high prices. These six tracks are joined by the both sides of the single that they released as the Chili Peppers, the two tracks that only appeared on rare GWP compilation albums, as well as an unreleased version of 'High Heel Sneakers'. Only two of these tracks have ever been reissued.Their single from the Vigor label, 'Chica Boom', backed with 'Greasy Greens' is included, both sides are now sought after by DJs and sample collectors.The CD finishes off with the whole of the band's 1975 album for Vanguard, "Loose And Juicy", that revisited and updated much of their earlier material. This funk gem is one of the most collectable of funk LPs, sought after for the constant high quality of the tracks.
