no.but it is a great start. 4 CD's of slamming jamming old school, R & B, Funk. It is complete. With a book, chart positions & wait for it.all of the long or extended versions, it is a great set to own, even if you have some selections on other CD's. Nuff said.
And so much fun ta boot. When I received the Funk Box and found that the book-like box was covered in red Velvet that I couldn't wait to review. I am just downloading the awesome mix of songs to my computer as I write this. AooWah. There is a written introduction along with a bit of background on each song. This is a lovinlgy put together historical tribute to funk. James Brown. Get down.
This is what's missing from most of todays sterilized corporate driven music. Its got that special electricity that you just don't find in most modern music. You can hear James Brown directing the band in the middle of the songs with his usuall flare.
Its on the edge. You can be sure most tracks were recorded with a full band playing at once, getting into and changing their own groove. Its fun.
You can hear musicians trying different riffs. Its raw. But its addictively fun.
You can't help but move to the great baseline and rythyms. Great Great collection.
This set is a must have for any fan of the most underappreciated genre of music around: funk. That's right, most of the catchy baselines from hip-hop tunes have been hijacked from old school funk. It is old school to the core, covering the evolution of the music we know and love. And for you new school, hip-hop kids: give a listen to this set and tell me you don't recognize the hook from just about every song in this set. If you don't believe me give it a listen.you will be amazed. Either way.buy this set, it well worth the price of admission.
This is the real deal, hipper than hip, the best mix of old school funk I have ever heard. The selections are right on and far out, brother, and the package and annotations are solid, Jackson.
OOOHHH MMMMMYYYYY GAAAAAWWWWWDDDD. OH MY GOD.
It does it to death, and if it don't make you move, you're dead. This set is so hip it hurts.
It puts the fun in funky. Just feel the velveteen and the rubber comb on the cover.
Word.
