Let's not talk about all the money the original record would sum up to (2200€).

How many times have I thought to myself that I'm gonna buy the 7" when I have more money than I need? Even if the 12" version on this mighty comp is a lot more useful ... Followed by sweetest Funk from Erasmus Hall. Just Me And You and cozy 96 heartbeats per minute. Next on my plate is Tommy Stewart's Bump & Hustle Music. This superfunky JAAAAM is probably among the All Time Rare Groove Top 10

Please was a band that consisted of bunch of Filipinos located in West Germany during the 1970s that released two albums on German Telefunken label before vanishing into obscurity. The story does not tell how and why they were in Germany, but at least they did pretty good job when it comes to funky music.

Although the main focus of the album seems to be on sweet soulful tunes, there’s some discoid funk business too. There’s midtempo funky soul such as “I’m gonna take care of business” and “Good stuff”, uptempo disco’ish soul like “Flaming lady” and then there’s also uptempo disco funk tracks like “Please yourself” and “Ego trippin’, the latter having a nice break in the beginning and in the end.

the self acclaimed king of Atlantis (nut) sings, library disco guru Roland Schneider arranges and members of Sioux and Hired Help Band care for the funk. It all culminates in the boogie-ish groover Wir sitzen all auf dem Pulverfaß (We're all sitting on the tinderbox).

Was Tun Band is a political combo coming from the Ruhrgebiet in Germany. An area that has been domiated by coal mining. Hard labour! "Was Tun" roughly translates "To Do Something / to become active". Even if they don't make you become active in a political sense, they'll make you move your lazy butt for SURE.

The most popular (!) album by one of the fathers of musique concrète. Jerky electronics meet eclectic rhytms made for Ballet dancing. I just tried dancing to it as a morning exercise and I can tell you it was big fun! (Neighbours forgive me ;) Vinyl shows light marks but plays GREAT , the OG 1967 heavy vinyl is almost indestructible.

Great Kraut Funk two-sider recorded a year after their First Message album.

This one reminds me of the beautiful Skylight album from Australia ...
