Once again the musical spectrum spans from raw funk to sassy soul, with a touch of Latin influence and even a dose of jazz. Included is the holy grail 7” from Project Soul, a super-rare one-off from a Vallejo band who’s members went on to become ConFunkShun. Also on board are tasty rarities and treats from Primevil, Dawn and Sunset, Soft Touch, The Windjammers and Faye Marshall, plus Bay Area favorites like Sugar Pie DeSanto and Little Denise. Extensive liner notes includes band interviews and anecdotes plus a first hand overview of the Bay Area’s Funk scene from writer Lee Hildebrand who saw most of the bands and bought the tunes as they came out.....
