LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

• BGP's Super Funk series has become a flagship for classic, rare and, most importantly, previously unreleased funk masterpieces. We have hunted, raided the crates and dug deep into the vaults to bring the dancefloor dynamite to the public and our "Mighty" volume is no different.""

"

• From the rare pile we bring you the Philips Brothers' 'Who Stole The Cookie' - from their incredibly scarce LA funk 45 on the Now label and a guaranteed deep funk classic. 'Are You Together For The New Day' by Love Experience is one of the most sought-after 45s by DJs and is currently changing hands for over a thousand pounds, while our first delve into the catalogue of Cleveland Eaton's super-collectable Cle An Thair label brings us Cleve's own 'It's Mookie Time' and the fantastic Mary Alice McCall's 'I'm Moving Home'. Elroy Peace's amazing 'New Day' is also a very hard record to get your hands on.""

"

• Our true worth that sets us apart from other compilations are our use of previously unreleased cuts. BGP's unique access to record company vaults across the US means that "Mighty Super Funk" features titles that you simply can't get anywhere else. This time we have breathtaking Latin funk from Jamo Thomas and also Los Africanos whose take on 'It's Your Thing' is a dead ringer for Ocho's classic 'Hot Pants Road' - mainly because it has the same team of musicians and producers behind it. Also at the peak of funk discoveries are Eleanor Rigby's 'Queen Of Losers' which is a new tune based on the rhythm of Brenda George's 'I Can't Stand It', and 87th Off Broadway's 'Moving Woman', a scorching piece of female-led group funk. All of these will be essential must haves for funk fans.""

"

• We also have many classic items by Sandra Phillips, Gunga Din and Adolph Jacobs and a New Orleans gem by Joe Haywood, which has never been reissued before. All wrapped up in an amazing package full of photos, label scans and in-depth sleeve notes.""
