I really wish the Washington Go-Go scene had been more popular as bands like Trouble Funk, E.U., Chuck Brown, Junkyard Band really knew how to FUNK!

Great to have the 12" version of sampletastic That's The Joint by Funky Four Plus One.

Strange mix of The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels of Steel, just called Wheels of Steel which is chopped down and missing a bit of wow factor of the original.

Can't find this mix in YouTube...just listen to the original.

Great to hear Kool Moe Dee in is earlier days, clearly destined for a big solo career away from the Treacherous Three.

Sequence and Sha Rock (the Plus One) showing how influential female MCs were even in the early days of Rap.
