Keb Darge: The Best of Legendary Deep Funk Vinyl 2LP
The title says it all.Ā Famed funk DJ/collector Keb Darge digs into his notoriously deepĀ crates to bring together the ultimateĀ batch of nuggets for BBE. Here the funky Scotsman pulls the cream of the crop from 3 volumes ofĀ Legendary Deep FunkĀ compilations for the very bestĀ funk jams that are sure to turnĀ it loose. From BBE: "Kebās search for rare ā45s took him across the globe, obsessively searching dollar bins, private collections and in some cases, artists homes to discover hidden gems recorded by local bands on regional record labels and pressed in tiny quantities. The rarity of the music combined with Kebās exquisite ear and DJ ability meant that these records quickly became highly collectible (not to mention expensive) and even made ādeep funkā a recognized genre all its own. Kebās passion paved the way for the modern funk revival, spearheaded by bands like The New Mastersounds & Quantic, even hitting the pop charts with the likes of Mark Ronson. In 1997 BBE released the first of three compilation albums of āLegendary Deep Funk ā, among the first LPs issued by the label. Equally loved by fans and loathed by vinyl price-gougers, the music contained on these albums took the world by storm, offering a refreshing change from the same old well-loved funk tunes endlessly re-issued on cut-price comps. The music felt fresh, exciting, full of energy and more authentic than anything all but the most dedicated collectors had heard before. Fittingly enough, to celebrate BBEās 20th year, weāve asked Keb to select his greatest hits from the āDeep Funkā series, presented on heavyweight vinyl. The compilation contains edits by Kebās deep funk contemporaries Ian Wright & Kenny Dope, as well as standout tracks from over 20 years of Legendary Deep Funk." Naturally, the songs contained here would cost a small fortune and a lifetime of digging to obtain, so do the right thing and copĀ this comp! Recommended. 21 tracks in all, housed in gatefold sleeve with detailed liner notes from Keb himself! Recommended.
