Description
A hidden gem of 1980s New York electro-funk arrives on double-sided vinyl. A must-have release featuring rare recordings produced by Bob Blank.
Side A features The Extras' "Haven't Been Funked Enough," a 1982 electro-funk masterpiece by Noel Williams. Its upbeat groove built around synthesizers and machine beats, catchy vocals, and street-savvy funk blend seamlessly, vividly capturing the atmosphere of the New York underground scene at the time.
Side B includes the popular dub mix of "Together Forever," Exodus' only single, released in 1982. The extended a cappella intro has also been sampled, making it a true classic. Produced and engineered by Bob Blank, the renowned engineer who supported numerous disco and post-disco releases from Blank Tape Studios, the sound stands out with its tight rhythms and sophisticated synth work, offering a full taste of the appeal of boogie and electro-funk.
The "Disco Classic" label on the record is no exaggeration, delivering a compelling collection that encapsulates the appeal of early 1980s New York dance music. It also holds high value as a DJ-friendly release spanning electro, boogie, and disco.
