Description

SERIOUSLY RARE FUNK !!

Allegedly, a 45 only used to help promote George and his band's live gigs in and around the city of High Point, North Carolina where George was a local Funk celebrity and his live gigs legendary for there potent, animated performances.

Personally I adore these tiny runs of 45's, usually sold or given away at the artists live performances. They are always incredibly rare and so hard to find in flawless condition. Invariably these D.I.Y. self-promo "testers" are the rarest vinyl the artist ever makes, in George's case this is certainly true. A prolific "local" Funk-master who was always backed by an equally gifted band never achieved a nationally distributed 45 out of his 5 releases.

Here is his rarest and ironically his best of the 5.

Two clean label, vinyl reveals only the mildest of sleeve contact hairlines

From the first note this 1976 D.I.Y. private press, kicks into "party" mode. Instant, heavy-duty drum and bass intro, the perfect platform for George's sweetly-gnarled vocal bark instructions from. As a wah-wah rhythms drive the pace; a skillfully manipulated Jazzy saxophone cuts the air as uplifting Funky pulses rhythms slowly but surely fill your space. Relentless, pumping bass guitar, smashing symbols, subtle synth intrusions all jell together in one inspiring force of FUNK!

As good as self-promoted local Funk gets, dance rhythms you can't ignore assertive vocal leadership and accomplished musicians..

Very RARE and essential, rare Northern Soul Funk DJ material ..

Condition Report

Exceptionally clean labels, strong unblemished vinyl, reveals only minuscule sleeve storage hairlines under light a intense scrutiny.
