Customer Reviews:

Great raw soul!.......2007-01-12

We've all heard enough Sly, PFunk, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with that...THEY ROCK. But, it's nice to know that there were so many funky people that didn't get on the Top 40. This CD compilation has a ton of very cool stuff. It's worth owning just for the Supersouls' Loaded To The Gills(though I wish I could hear the whole thing! A few of these tracks are edited, but not in a bad way). Put it on and DANCE.

An explosive missile to the past..........2006-06-17

Wow. I just picked this up, yesterday. This s__t is so hip! Collects many obscurites from around the country, all high energy, smokin' funk. You dig funk at all, this collection rules!

So, so hot.......2006-04-28

A HUGE thank you to the people who rated this album. It is gold.
For non-funk-o-philes, which I am, all I can say is: imagine all of your favourite 70s shows and then amplify the theme songs by about 1000, and you'll get close to where this little beauty will take you.
I have bought a fair bit of stuff off Amazon, and this is the first CD that I really reckoned everyone else should know about.
Whoever it was that wrote that "if you want to pay a fistfull of bucks for funk" list knows what they are about. I have played this thing thrice over and it just gets better.
Do yourself a favour, buy it, whack it on your headphones and wander the city Shaft-style ... people will puzzle about your slightly odd head gyrations while you're cruising the vege aisle, but that's because they don't know better yet.
Don't ask me to describe the choons, I can't, all you need to know is that your life is lesser without them.

If this ain't funky enough for you..........2006-02-03

If this 80 minute power house of rare and raw late 60s early 70s funk doesn't do something for you, something is wrong... It is the type of stuff that some funk searching DJs wet their pants for and do nothing but dream of... that one rare obscure ultra funky find that NO ONE ELSE has. Well, now this label has reissued it... can't say how long it will remain in print, but I can tell you this, unless you happen to be an expert of expert collector on EXTREMELY rare funk, odds are this collection is going to be a gem that will remind you that no, you haven't heard it all... and maybe more juice like this is hiding in yet other vaults waiting to surface!!!

Begining in the nasty James Brown "Mother Popcorn" era, the groups also reflect the influences of other funky soul powerhouses from the era including Archie Bell and The Drells, Dyke and the Blazers - - and of course the JBs themselves and the emerging Memphis sound. "Down Home" Funky drumming, driving bass, biting bluesy syncopated rhythm guitar and yes, quite a few Hammond organs epitomize the sound. Tunes range from horn driven instrumentals to hard core soul shouting.

Surprises include a funky James Brown Apollo melody as well as super funky version of War's SLIPPING INTO DARKNESS that actually outfunks the original ! My favorite includes the Lyn Collins sounding ultra bumpin' masterpiece DON'T GO, by the Aristocrats long before they were a really dirty joke...There's also a bit of ultra funky psychadelic soul in the form of the Ebony Rhythm Band and The Soul Seven. Finally its topped off with a real cool wa wa driven/early Kool and the Gang sounding STREET SCENE and a nice slick sounding version of SCORPIO.

All in all this is some ultra rare groove juice from the vaults that you definitely don't want to let pass you by !

Essential Listening for Every Music Fan!!!.......2006-01-09

A treasure! A jem! The title says it all! Heavy funk rarities is an absolute must have purchase and listen to any one who: likes to party, is a musician, music historian or anyone who is just a plain old music fan. Really cool beats and melodies that you could dance, sing and hum to all day long!

What a groovy show!.......2006-09-09

The 4 Seasons Rarities CDs were released as companion discs to the three CD 4 Seasons 25th Anniversary Collection, for people who want more than three CDs of the 4 Seasons. Most of the songs on this CD aren't particularly rare, having appeared on previous 4 Seasons albums. For the record, there are four songs from Dawn, three songs from Born to Wander, four songs from Rag Doll, two songs from The 4 Seasons Entertain You and three songs from New Gold Hits. There are a few genuine rarities. There is a jingle for a bowling alley and the theme song for disc jockey Cousin Brucie's radio show. And I'm pretty sure that the single "On the Good Ship Lollipop" and it's b-side "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" hadn't been on an album before (this was released under their gag name "The Wonder Who?"). Anyway, regardless of whether these songs are rare or not, most of them are quite good. There is a very strong selection of album tracks and b-sides, proving that the group recorded a lot of good songs that weren't released as singles. Of course, the absolute highlight is their silly rendition of "On the Good Ship Lollipop" (yes, the Shirley Temple song). If you want more than just the hits by the 4 Seasons, you should enjoy this CD.

Better than Off-Seasons!.......2004-04-08

If you're like me (absolutely love the stuff spanning from 1962 until about 1967 & can take or leave the later years) this collection is for you. The songs on here are outstanding and this is the only place on CD that you can find the Wonder Who singles ... You're Nobody Until Somebody Loves You is wonderful!

Customer Reviews:

For Collectors Only & Avid Fans of Doo Wop.......2000-12-07

This is the real deal! Forty tracks on 2 Cd's of some of the rarest, sweetest and greatest R&B vocal groups of the 50's. You won't find these gems on "Oldies Radio", or on the old charts from the era. I laugh at those reviews of this genre were the reviewer is always citing how big a hit the groups records were and how they charted on the R&B & pop charts. To the real fan & collector of Doo-Wop the most important facts are the rarity (usually lack of sales) and sound. Most of these groups were from the urban street corners and local high schools. None were thinking of recording rare records, probably all were hoping for fame and fortune with a big hit. Some of these groups did go on to later fame like The Moonglows, Flamingos & Dells. Most cut one or two sides that were released and then forgotten. This Cd has some of the most beautiful of these rare tracks such as the simply gorgeous "Golden Teardrops" by the Flamingos and one of the rarest single recordings of all time by the Hideaways. Make no mistake, these are not B sides, unreleased tracks or throw-a-ways. These are the real deal, with only three fast songs on the Cd and the rest are romantic and slow, with sweet high leads and background harmonies and simply some of the best of R&B vocal group music ever recorded. You probably never heard many of these records, but if you are a fan you can't go wrong. Some of the groups were very rough and unpolished and never had a chance to improve. Others like the Flamingos, Dells, Avalons, Velvets and Moonglows were very professional in their recordings. If you are a collector or fan you can't go wrong. Five stars all the way!
