Vinyl Masterpiece, a Dutch reissuer of great funk albums, has just reissued two fantastic albums by Kool and The Gang. One of the two is the album 'Everbody's Dancin'' from 1978 original pressed on DE-LITE Records.

This and the other reissue album 'The Force' are recorded for the period that Kool and the Gang hit the charts with 'Celebrations', 'Ladies Night', 'Too Hot' and a few years later with 'Cherish' and 'Fresh'.

This album is pure funk and nothing else but the funk. The 8 minute title track 'Everybody's Dancin'' fooles you in the first 45 seconds. Watch my words. Get your 'Dancin Shoes' just like 'Big Chief Funkum' are both funk tracks of the first kind with lots of bass, brass, synth sounds. Track #4 'I Like Music' looks like a precessor for the coming period. Midtempo, less funk. The same is true for 'At The Party'. Nice tracks though. The smooth downtempo track 'Stay Awhile' sounds very fresh with nice guitar, and violin work. Great vocals. 'It's All You Need' is superb. Another great reissue on CD. Check the samples. You won't be disappointed. Sound samples and CD available at vinyl Masterpiece
