v/a- BACKSTREET BRIT FUNK Vol.1 Compiled by Joey Negro 2LP

Backstreet Brit Funk Vol.1 is being reissued for the first time and this will be the first ever vinyl release of this highly regarded compilation. A collection of rare and very sought-after underground British disco, funk and soul tracks avoiding the obvious hits that have been on a million CDs already. Many of these tracks never went beyond a very small local release but have since become very collectable.

Both Vol.1 (2010) and Vol.2 (2018) of the Brit Funk albums tell the story of the underground scene from the late 70’s through to the mid-80’s 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 dance floors.
