  1. beware, the funk is everywhere....

     

    the best starting place would be to get

    hold of all the ultimate breaks & beats

    lp's and the dusty fingers comps.

    as for the p-funk sound no one does it

    better than the masters and you

    already have the parliment/funkadelic

    shit , yeah?

     

    for great groups with great back catalogues

    try the meters, kool & the gang & the jb's.

     

    1970 - 1973 were probably the best years for

    'da real funky shit' but funk can come from

    anywhere and any year in the last 40 odd :)

    for some newer ish check the new mastersounds,

    little barrie, speedometer, breakestra etc

     

    digging in the field?

    look for big afros, junkies/drug references,

    (semi)naked women on the cover, 70-73+, drums

     

    there are thousands of compilations out

    full of the cream of the funk world, these would

    be the best place to start & usually all the info

    you need to start digging properly can be found in

    the liner notes.

    premier... it got pulled 30 mins before airing.

    big interviews about his film the he's been quizzed

    about king robbo lol. Robbo also had an article published

    in the wall street journal relating to the banksy isht.

    fair enough over the years this piece got pretty dogged and

    'vandalized' (lol) but for the most part it was still visible... history

     

    now i like banksys stuff and i like this... but the cost is too high
