Stone killer jazz funk by the All Girls Band, from New Orleans.
Like prime Blackbyrds, but young women doing it to it for a change, with a rocket launcher.

Murderous southern funk from the dawn of the seventies, featuring brilliant fatback drumming by Freeman Brown and cooking organ by Clayton Ivey. Fittingly, producer Mickey Buckins lets off a siren on the flip.

A superb double-header, by way of Joe Evans’ New York label Carnival: a stylish, soulful dancer, and a beautiful harmony ballad.

Searing, deep soul; with laxative breaks-n-beats bass, not lost on Ghostface Killah.

Uku Kuut and his mum, on boogie patrol.

A brilliant, tough, mid-70s funk work-out; and some nostalgia, with wistful falsetto and low-riding narration.
The UFB was formerly known as Bump And The Soul Stompers, led by Jerald ‘Bump’ Scott, from Kansas City.
