Description

The is the launch of the Wax Poetics record label ! In 1971, in the midst of America’s conflict in Vietnam, the U.S army held a show band contest and showcased the two winning bands in a promotional album. East Of Underground managed to capture the spirit of America with their sweet-soul covers of Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield and Funkadelic.The quality of the recording is superior, as is the musicianship: the falsetto harmonies, the gritty guitar, and the devouring drums. But song choice is just as responsible for the success of this album. Unlike other obscure-funk reissues and compilations, East Of Underground is immediately familiar, instantly gratifying and endlessly playable. Only a handful of original copies are known to exist, the album is now reissued for the first time. Tip!
