  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2020



    • Unique 3CD set taking a fresh look at British music from the late ‘60s through to the mid- ‘70s, with an eye on overlooked dancefloor-friendly finds.



    • Focused on the rhythmic backbone of Progressive Rock outfits who – every so often – would emulate their jazz heroes and record funky sides tucked away on albums or B-sides. Many of these tracks (Jonesy, Hardin And York) have been known to collectors of Funky Breaks for years.



    • Also boasting some excellent funky Folk tracks which lighten the load – tracks by Alan James Eastwood, Bridget St John, Dana Gillespie, Joan Armatrading and Melanie, for example.



    • Recommended for anyone who loves Acid Jazz, Funk Rock, early ‘70s Fusion or the groovy end of late 60s Psychedelia!


    With more typical Funk Rock selections come from Hanson (featuring future Bob Marley And The Wailers’ mainstay Junior Murvin on guitar) and Curtis Knight Zeus (fronted by Jimi Hendrix’s old bandmate and featuring future Motorhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke).


    Maybe it all started – in terms of Breaks and Hip Hop culture, at least – with DJ Kool Herc, who would spin key segments from old Rock records to create the Funky Break. Ever since, fans of funky music have been crate digging to find any tunes which have that infectious shuffle, regardless of their musical heritage or background.


    In some ways, ‘One Way Glass’ is the next chapter in the musical story told on previous RPM box sets, ‘Looking Back’, ‘Keep Lookin’ and ‘Night Comes Down’, which documented British artists who made music inspired by black America, aimed squarely at the clubs. Now, instead of borrowing from R&B and Soul, the Prog-era bands took a leaf from American Jazz and Funk artists.
