Various - World Psychedelic Classics 3: Love's A Real Thing

Luaka Bop, David Byrne's label positively surpasses itself with this deliciously funked-up collection. The compilation drawn from myriad out-of-print early '70s singles, eps, lps, and movie soundtracks - is post-James Brown / pre-Fela Kuti transatlantic mutation at its best. Fuzz boxes, wah-wah pedals, overdriven organs, and squonking saxophones meld with the polyrhythmic dna of deep African grooves into exactly what the disc's evocative title promises. it's hip-shaking, foot-tapping and simply phenomenal. It features William Onyeabo, Ofo and the Black Company, Moussa Doumbia, Sorry Bamba, Orchestre Poly-Rythmo deCotonou Dahomey and more.Double vinyl set - limited to 500 copies.
