It's nice to see the spirit of funk is still alive and well with the lovers of classic dancefloor tracks. Vintage Grooves very much seems to be in the spirit of this similar to the fantastic Mastercuts selections that gripped everyone in the 90's. There are some absolute classic tracks here and what's clear is that 'Funk Volume 1' has certainly captured the ultimate essence of funk music with the bassline attitude that made funk so damn dirty. The album starts off 'The Beginning Of The End' by Funky Nassau an awesome funk track and then into 'Pick Up The Pieces' by The Average White Band that was one of the first funk tracks that attracted me to this style of music. The list of great artists on this collection is first class like Sly & The Family Stone, Bill Withers, The O Jay's, The Fatback Band, Curtis Mayfield, Earth Wind & Fire and The Isley Brothers. We see the Headhunters with 'God Made Me Funky' at there most funkiest and lesser known gems like Raydio 'For Those That Like To Groove' and an awesome Bar Kays track 'Holy Ghost' that slaps you in your face.
