TRACK LIST

The 1970s saw a plethora of great funk and jazz albums that for somewhat mystifying reasons have failed to be reissued. With this in mind we are this month launching BGP Funk and Soul Classics: long out-of-print albums on CD featuring the very best mastering, great packaging and some nifty sleeve notes to let you know where the album fits into the scheme of things. Our first batch of releases come from the extensive ctalogue of Fantasy Records and feature a host of albums that are sought after by collectors the world over. One of the rarest and most obscure of the soundtracks for black movies from the 70s, “Black Girl” is also a very interesting proposition musically, with its producers Ed Bogas and Ray Shanklin writing the music and then drafting in various artists who were signed to Fantasy. The main theme has the brilliant Betty Everett singing her heart out, there are rare contributions from Rodger Collins and Walter Hawkins, while J.J. Malone’s ‘No World For Dreamers’ is a great two step soul number. The remainder of the album is made up of instrumentals including ‘Choc Lite Puddin’’ with some great Merl Saunders organ playing and the funky ‘BJ’s Step’.
