JMANCD.014 Florida Funk
Funk 45s from the Alligator State
Funk 45 label boss Jazzman Gerald and obsessive collector Malcolm Catto proudly present 21 rare and unreleased slices of heavy funk from the Alligator State!In the past they've fried in the Texas desert to complete Texas Funk, dodged monster tornadoes while working on Midwest Funk and have now spent the past 3 years travelling the length and breadth of Florida – trekking through the everglades to snatch rare 45s from the jaws of 20ft gators – before escaping back to the UK with an amazing selection of music that highlights Florida as one of the funkiest states in the USA!
From driving percussive instrumentals by obscure small-town groups, to heartfelt slabs of soul; from tropical Latin grooves to funk 45s so raw that they were blessed by James Brown himself!
· The rarest and most coveted funk 45s from Florida, in demand by collectors and DJs around the world
· All tracks fully licensed and restored from original tapes
· Original stories direct from the musicians and artists
· 24 page colour cd booklet with in-depth liner notes with label scans and previously unpublished photographs
· Highest quality Deluxe gatefold double LP with pics, notes and full colour inner sleeve
