Various Artists : Deep Fried Funk

In 1987 with the Family Funktion team (Norman Jay & Judge Jules) Femi Fem and Marco Nelson compiled the groundbreaking album ‘Got To Get Your Own (Some Rare Grooves)’ for Charly Records. This, and its follow up volume introduced us to a strange world of obscure singles on exotic sounding labels and gave us a glimpse of what went on with members of James Brown’s gang when they stepped away from the Boss. ‘Deep Fried Funk’ is the descendant of those earlier Charly compilations and begins its journey with some ever-green cuts that have remained popular ever since that time.
