Prophet: Right On Time Vinyl LP

Private press boogie gem repressed! Leave it to the good folks of Beat Electric to dig up this heavily sweated and obscure piece of Bay Area boogie history. Prophet's Right On Time is a masterwork of outsider boogie-funk, a completely self-recorded and self-released rarity that easily grabs more than a couple bills when it pops up (which is basically never). Witness lo-fi funk in it's rawest and truest form as Prophet channels his inner Prince on 6 tracks of over the top boogie bliss. Anyone who's ever got down to a Dam Funk jam owes it to themselves to check out the real deal from '84. Essential listening for the funk freaks. Recommended.
