These Cobalt compilations had my jaw hitting my laptop, whoever compiled these knows their rare funk inside, outside and back to front!
ReplyDeleteOnly ever had a crappy 128 rip of The Equals 'Funky Like A Train' so I am over the moon and have been looking for Mandingo's Black Rite for eons, its great when 40-50% of a compilation is completely unknown.
Great blog by the way, lots of material on here that I have not seen on other blogs and I like how the diverse posts all have a resonance with each other, definitely a blog I will be visiting regularly, many thanks again for the rare tracks.
PS> Worth looking at the cover of the Equals single, if only to see Eddie Grant circa 1977 in a blond wig...priceless!
Hey, just stumbled across your blog, great stuff. However, I just tried to open up the folder of the Rare Funk Vol.5 - Afro Funk link and it keeps on prompting me for a password. I don't suppose there is a remote chance you have any idea what it is. Thanks in advance - draftblue@yahoo.co.uk
