From the vaults of Atlantic, Atco, Cotillion, Reprise & Warner Brothers, highlighting the period 1968-75. A selection of Warner Brothers-related funk – but featuring some killer numbers that move way past the hits!

Many of these numbers were only issued on 45s – or on long out of print LPs – and even though there's a few numbers on here that you may know, the set's also got a number of others that you probably don't, as it even surprised us with some of its funky goodies!

CITY FIXX was a bunch of rock and roll ragamuffins, coming from Rockville, Maryland, armed with some of the best Glam/Sleaze anthems you’ve never heard and they had Kim Fowley (Runaways) in their corner.

New York’s Overkill are somewhat forgotten today, but during thrash metal’s heyday, they were one of the genre’s fastest, hardest, and hungriest. In their late 80s heyday, they were capable of whipping crowds into a mosh pit frenzy like no one else…
