VARIOUS – Cold Heat: Heavy Funk Rarities 1968-1974 (Repress) – 2LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl featuring 15 Heavy Funk Rarities. Housed in a GatefoldJacketwith liner notes contained on sleeve.

Cold Heat is Eothen Egon Alapatts follow-up to the famous Funky 16 Corners set he curated in the early 2000s. And like that one, Cold Heat is overflowing with great bits that had barely (or never) been heard by the rest of the world at large. Egon went through a range of rare singles, masters, and demos and came up with tunes that burn with a brightness that’s undeniable.

The grooves are all on the harder end of the James Brown Funky People side of the spectrum and some tracks are by names that finally got their due here, thanks to Egon, Now-Again, and some of the other funky forces doing the good work over the years
