Bringing back rare and unknown lps is what the most recent music age is all about. Rare Gems Odyssey is one of those special groups that never got the right chance during the underground dance high period (late 70s, early 80s). Now we all have a chance to experience the beauty of the groove.
"What Is Funk?" is one of those songs that is quoted all the time, but not many people have heard the original.
All of the music on the cd is very uplifting.
Thanks again for bringing back this great record.
