The Monticellos: Plaid Stamps Vinyl 7"

Hidden funk gem repressed! This is one of those dusty 45's that has remained something of a mystery for sometime. As the story goes, the record lounged in obscurity until 2003 when it started popping up in digger circles. Fast forward over a decade later and this slow-burning funk gem finally gets an overdue reissue.  Check the thick, low slung funk on "Plaid Stamps" back with instrumental version. Convincing COOL repro labels to boot.
