Description

Das Cover hat starke Gebrauchsspuren: Bleistift, Ränder geklebt, Farbe blass, leicht abgewetzt (siehe Foto).

Die Platte klingt überraschend gut, hat zwar viele Oberflächenkratzer, knistert und knackt aber nur ganz leicht an einigen Stellen.

Das erste Album von Kool & the Gang ist ein Funk-Meisterwerk und -Meilenstein, ist voller Drumbreaks, knackiger Bläsersätze und wurde unzählige Male gesampelt. Eine der besten Funk LP's aller Zeiten!

A landmark album of funky genius – and one of the first times a batch of funky 45s had ever been so tightly sewn into a full LP! By the time of this album's release, Kool & The Gang were already underground legends – cutting it up in small clubs around the east and midwest, and working hard to push their excellent early singles on the De-Lite label – the kind of indie funky 45s that went on to shape the sound of a generation to come! This album brings together a number of those singles – really great little tracks that you can't really ever find on wax, and which have the group's perfect blend of bass/drum rhythms, choppy guitar, and hard-blaring horns – a massive groove that's still tighter here than any of the countless combos the record went onto inspire. The LP's a non-stop jam all the way through, with funk so pure it could be considered the blueprint for a generation – and titles include "Give It Up", "Raw Hamburger", "Kool's Back Again", "Breeze & Soul", "Sea of Tranquility", and "Kool & The Gang".
