FUNK FACTORY OG LP - Funk Jazz Classic 1975 VG+

LP Condition: VG+
Cover Condition: VG (some wear)
 Label/Cat #:  Atco SD 36-116

Notes: A massive bit of funky fusion from the 70s -- an album that was crucially overlooked at the time,
but which has gone onto become a crate-diggers classic over the years! The group's fronted by Polish jazz
legends Michal Urbaniak and Urszula Dudziak -- but it also features a fair bit of American players too --
all working together in a blend of the best funky fusion modes going down in both the US and Eastern
Europe in the mid 70s! Drums on the set are totally great -- played by Steve Gadd or Gerald Brown,
depending on the track -- and some tracks have weird vocal bits that riff around the instrumentation,
sung either by Urszula, Bernard Kafka, or some other backing singers. The keyboards are great -- quite
tripped-out at times, but never too over the top -- and overall, the album's a fair bit more soulful and
funky than most of Urbaniak's other work of the 70s. Titles include the killer sample track "Rien Ne Va
Plus" -- used famously by the Beastie Boys many years back -- plus "After The World Goes Home",
"Funk It", "Sinkin Low", "Next Please", "Horsing Around", and "Watusi Dance" - Dusty Groove

Q: Will I combine shipping costs for multiple items? A: You bet. All records are original issue unless noted.

Hi, my name is Derek Erdman and I'm soon going to be moving across the country and will be selling
off most of my collection before I do it. If you like this record, see my other auctions for more like it:
rock, indie, punk, jazz, soul, house, blues, classical, you name it. There are so many of them and they
are all good. I worked in the record business for 15 years & have collected since I was a child & now
they absolutely all have to go.

Please look below for shipping costs & check my feedback - I'm good at eBay!

NEAR MINT (NM) Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that
do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming
evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully.
Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of
a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not
affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD (VG) Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl
luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but
should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of
these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD (G) Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record
should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent,
but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR (P) Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be
seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
