The Pied Piper of Funkingham
The Pied Piper of Funkingham
Amazing chance to get your hands on a limited repress of one of the proper holy grails of the funk genre. Almost impossible to get hold hold of, this 1982 album on the tiny US Chocolate Cholly’s label is rammed full of bad-ass boogie, funk and early rap gems and until now has been a fiercely-guarded secret weapon of choice for any DJ lucky enough to own a copy of the ultra-rare vinyl original. A true definition of the maxim ‘All killer, no filler’, every track on the LP is superb - jam-packed with storming percussion, grooving bass and lilting flute lines (the Pied Piper’s pipes of choice) - but stand-outs include latin-tinged funk workout Clap Song, spacey disco-rap cut ‘Blow Some Funk This Way’, cool groover ‘Today Is The Day’, and the P-funk rap swagger of ‘Drummer Boy’. Essential!!
