"JERK! SHAKE! AND VIBRATE!" VA

Given the hot little groovers on here, it's hard not to jerk, shake, and vibrate when listening to this set -- as the collection's stuffed with loads of funky soul tunes! The package dips into the far end of the 60s indie scene -- going for obscure 45s issued on small labels that mostly never got proper distribution -- with a sound that's informed by the harder and deeper soul artists of the time, but carried off with a lot more energy and pure raw power than the acts that ever made it on the radio! CD version features 24 tracks in all -- with titles that include "I Do The Jerk" by Bil Pinkney, "The James Brown Bougelou" by Little Genie Brooks, "Mister CC" by Jim Pipkins & The Boss Five, "Let's Monkey Again" by The Persians, "Thread The Needle" by Al White & The Hi-Liters, and "Funky Funky Horse" by Lester Young & The California Playboys (Dusty Groove)trax:

I'd forgotten what a great disc this is...and it deserves a link!

In the meantime, I'm gonna go grab my copy & burn it so I have something to counteract the other subway riders cranking "Lip Gloss"...
