A selection of Warner Brothers-related funk – but featuring some killer numbers that move way past the hits! This is one of the funkiest compilations we've ever heard from a major label – and it's proof that deep down in their catalogs, the majors were working just as hard as the indies to come up with some killer slabs of funk, as you'll hear in this set of 20 gems recorded between the years 1968 and 1974! Many of these numbers were only issued on 45s – or on long out of print LPs – and even though there's a few numbers on here that you may know, the set's also got a number of others that you probably don't, as it even surprised us with some of its funky goodies! Titles include "Getting Uptown" by United 8, "Don't Come Around Here Anymore" by Mark Putney, "Shop Talk (version 1)" by Cold Blood, "Come Little Children" by Donny Hathaway, "Sexy Coffee Pot" by Tony Alvon & The Belairs, "Soul Machine" by The Meters, "Pop Popcorn Children" by Eldridge Holmes, "What So Never the Dance (parts 1 & 2)" by The Houseguests, "Back On The Streets Again" by Tower Of Power, "65 Bars & A Taste Of Soul" by Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, "Nobody But You Babe" by Clarence Reid, and "You Gotta Know Whatcha Doin" by Charles Wright. © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

"WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Great gems thanks man
thanks for sharing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the Funk Drop series....very nice indeed. I'm playing mine in WinAmp and I noticed that the beginnings of each track on Vol.1 (except the first track) start at the ends of the previous track. For instance the beginning of track 2 blasts in at the end of track 1 and so on throughout the set, Vols.2 & 3 are fine though. I'll remedy mine with the help of Sony Sound Forge but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Loving all the Friends of Dean Martinez stuff that's been posted. Many thanks....top class site.
@Zipper,
Yep, you are right, sir. These mp3's are likely ripped from the FLAC versions that one of the other guys posted last week or so [Jillem or Gillem or something like that]. I had to take every track drop it into my Digital Audio Workstation and move the track break markers. You do know that when you edit MP3 files you further degrade the audio quality. It's pretty much pointless. However if you edit the flac archive, you are using a full digital audio representation since flac is, uhmm, lossless. It's like these cats are ripping stuff so fast, they don't bother to preview what they are pirating.
many thanks
thank you!
