Repress!!!Our first BGP Stax Of Funk gathered up fine reviews and good sales as people discovered that it wasn't just one man operations out of Texas that released great funk. Volume 2 finds us resuming our search for more and what do you know we've come up trumps. Not only that but we have proved this time what a wide spectrum of sounds the funky part of the world encompasses. Most pleasing to my ears are a couple of tracks that are clearly influenced by the pop funk of the Honeycone and the Jackson 5 - the cuts by the Emotions and the Sweet Inspirations. But we cover virtually all points on the funk compass. We have blues funk from Albert King and Jimmy McCracklin. We have proto disco grooves from Sir Mack Rice, the blaxploitation exploits of the Bar Kays and the non blaxploitation film theme from the Staple Singers' Brand New Day written by Al Kooper. Oh and yes we have an unreleased and very funky Rufus Thomas number called Doin' The Side Saddle. On top of this we have a whole load of hard core down and heavy funk. Lee Sain's Them Hot Pants-.-Shame On The Family Name by Calvin Scott, Bernie Hayes' mighty Cool Strut are all sure fire floor fillers whether you are a DJ or just playing a CD in your front room. And whilst we are at it we've got Reggie Milner's Soul Machine which shares its backing track with Tick Tock Baby by Quickest Way Out on the Karen label-.-that's a great record but Reggie is even better. So this is the Memphis Sound, only the funkiest Memphis sound you will ever hear.
