Someone posted some Cloud upthread but this one’s also great… give it up for the funky sound of Swindon:
Cloud - Visions - 12" Moon Glow Mix
Backatcha put it out earlier this year - don’t know the backstory but I think it’s previously unreleased?
Another great Cloud track.
Cargo - Holding On For Love
Can’t believe I forgot to post this.
And this, which might not strictly be brit funk but was a british band doing funk anyways:
He seems like a lovely guy too. His 70s Brazilian Special on NTS is worth checking.
He’s an absolute legend imo, proper UK music pioneer.
Is I Level considered Brit Funk?
Yes! I nearly forgot I have that warriors track! Soo good
Sorry I’m spamming the thread but it’s reminding me of great tracks like this:
I got this from Sean P’s Originals comp - got so many cracking tunes from those comps!
And stumbled on a Portuguese pressing of this here in Portugal and took a chance on it. Smooth dynamite.
Two strong versions on Bandcamp of this 1985 tune from Take Three.
Sun’s out. I’m feeling the reggae version.
Edit: maybe this should be in the Street Soul thread?
This is Joe White so it’s really Jamaican, but it’s on a UK label and sounds more funky than reggae.
And I love it - works and works and works and works…
BANGER
I remember it! Never saw anything other than classical in there though. Edit and jazz CDs. There was another place that sold records a bit further down. Both long gone. Johnny Skates has a stall there still.
Found a copy of this at a car boot earlier this year.
I took this into a Barbers to get the same haircut as the lead singer of UK Players. sigh.
