ABOUT THIS ITEM

"Backstreet Brit Funk" is the latest compilation from Dave Lee aka Joey Negro released on the Z Records label. The double disc album features highly collectable tracks from the late 70s through to the mid-80s with sleeve notes from soul weekender veteran Mark Webster. "Backstreet Brit Funk" tells the story of the underground scene in the UK when punk and disco were giving way to a new blend of jazz, soul and funk, heavily influenced by the American big hitters of the day but re-worked by the UK pioneers for the British dancefloors - hence the 'Brit Funk' tag from the time. This is a unique selection of high quality music, which will have a shelf life lasting well beyond the current trends and fads. All tracks have been cleared and re-mastered to a very high standard and now sound better than ever before. Joey Negro has also re-edited many of the tracks exclusively for this album, updating them with a fresh new approach. Includes gems by Freeez, Hudson People, Mirage, 52nd Street, The Cool Notes, Incognito and many more.
