On this 2008 comp, the veteran UK hip hop producer + turntablist (\u003cstrong\u003eScratch Perverts\u003c\/strong\u003e!) selects 22 tracks of funk and soul rarities, old and new, with high quality sound on triple LP.  He's really showing off his deep crates here with jams like \u003cstrong\u003eBergundy's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Tramp Reszlet,\" \u003cstrong\u003eChain Reaction's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Hogtied,\" \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Batiste and The Gladiators\u003c\/strong\u003e' \"Funky Soul Pt. 1\" and the \u003cstrong\u003eSociety Of Seven's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Superstar.\" I'm really loving the variety, obscure but still banging. But for those with an appetite for something more familiar there's some awesome covers here well.  You might have heard the \u003cstrong\u003eMohawk's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Champ,\" but you gotta check the funkdified \"Tramp\" from \u003cstrong\u003eBrother Lloyd's All Stars\u003c\/strong\u003e. How about \u003cstrong\u003eBlackbuster's\u003c\/strong\u003e cover of the famous \u003cstrong\u003eBanbarra\u003c\/strong\u003e (or \u003cstrong\u003eA Certain Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e) cut, \"Shack Up,\" the sick breaks on \u003cstrong\u003eDiscoettes\u003c\/strong\u003e' \"Yes We Can Can,\" or the gangsta funk of \u003cstrong\u003eLloyd Charmer's\u003c\/strong\u003e \"I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More.\"  All are worth spinning out, and that's not even half the comp! Gotta give it up to Mr. Thing for keeping the funk alive in a serious way. The whole funk, and nothing but the funk right here.
