Super Funk is back with some more stone cold rare and classic funk from 68-77 and here are some of the super rare, unreleased and classic funk that make up this new volume.

Let’s start with the Uniques. When Give Me Another Chance surfaced on auction site ebay last year, the seller assured everyone that there was only a solitary copy of the 200 press that has surfaced. The record was snaffled up by legendary collector and DJ Ian Wright, who has made it one of the biggest records of the year - this has been taken the record from the original master so you can appreciate in your own home why it is so good. Further crazily rare 45s on the collection include Hi Off Life by the Eternal Flames, an excellent slice of Funk produced by Fatback’s Bill Curtis (the band was a group of Queens teenagers aiming for their one shot at glory). Equally rare is Just Sitting by Smithstonian, which was only available on the issue version of their one Enterprise 45, not the slightly more common promo. Although nowhere near as rare as our first three releases, the Diplomats and the Phillips Brothers records both go for quite a large chunk of change these days. Not surprising when they would fill a floor anywhere. As a bonus the Phillips Brothers’ I Got Hurt comes in an extended part one and an unreleased part two, and we also have a frantic unreleased Little Boy Blue by them.
