Ministry of Sound continue to educate the masses with a brand new collection of one our most loved music genres. With the sun shining what better album to get your groove on and heat things up for the imminent summer than Funk Soul Classics. A major influence on disco, funk music is a sound familiar to all having also been heavily sampled in dance related genres ever since including hip hop, house and drum & bass not to mention featuring in countless iconic film soundtracks (Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Shaft to name but a few). The essential tunes from your favourite funk soul brothers & sisters all feature including the Academy Award winning 'Theme From Shaft' by Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack, Sly & The Family Stone, Bill Withers, Funkadelic, The Isley Brothers, The Fatback Band, Al Green, Aretha Franklin & Sister Sledge. 3CDs of grooves and cuts that defined an era, from Stateside to Southport, these are the records that provided the soundtrack to a generation.

Living in The Age of The Reissue offers a variety of benefits for the musically-minded person. Now, you can get to know Carl Perkins in the same way that the public at large knew Elvis Presley back in the day. The constraints of what is popular now no longer dictate the kinds of music we are familiar with, in spite of sales figures, the proliferation of music videos (distributed through whatever means is popular at the time), or even their inclusion in TV and film. The Age of The Reissue liberates us from the stale conformity of Top 40, and allows our musical dollars the chance to flow in obscure, seldom traveled paths, and in many cases, offer us a chance to excavate the past in a way that was never previously thought possible.
