Description

HEAT ALERT! UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS LEGENDARY STEEL DRUM FUNK LP FROM JAMAICA BY THE EAST SIDE SYMPHONY. THIS ALBUM IS HIGHLY COVETED FOR THE BREAK-HEAVY VERSIONS OF FELA'S "BLACK MAN'S CRY" & JAMES BROWN'S FUNK STORMER "HOT PANTS ROAD". BOTH OF THESE CUTS ARE DRUM-INFESTED FUNK COVERS OF THE ORIGINALS & ARE PURE HEAT IN A DJ SETTING. FOOL-PROOF FUNK BOMBS ASSURED TO INDUCE SWEATY FREAK-LIKE BEHAVIOR IN DANCERS. THE ALBUM HAS NUMEROUS GROOVY SONGS IN ADDITION TO THE AFOREMENTIONED TUNES SUCH AS "JOE LO LO", "BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER", "RAIN O RAMA", & "EL CONDOR PASA". MANY OF THESE CUTS ARE BEGGING A RE-ISSUE FOR SOMEONE CURATING A STEEL-FUNK COMPILATION & FOR MY MONEY, THE VERSION OF "BLACK MAN'S CRY" IS MUCH HOTTER & BETTER RECORDED THAN THE VERSION ON THE GAY FLAMINGOS LP. THIS ALBUM IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND NOT MANY HEADS ARE HIP TO IT. SO DIP INTO THOSE TRUST FUNDS AND COPP EL HEATERS IN THE STRICTEST SENSE OF DO THE DO!
