Organized Con Funk Shun

Originally released by Pickwick Records in 1978, the first recorded Con Funk Shun album is Organized Con Funk Shun. The band’s official debut album, Con Funk Shun, was released in 1976 and features the track "Sure Feels Good To Me", which is also featured in an alternative mix on the Organized album. It is the first time Organized Con Funk Shun has been available on CD.

Prior to developing their identity as Con Funk Shun, the band worked in the early 70s as a backup group for The Soul Children, a well-known R&B act, as Project Soul. While Project Soul was recording these songs and looking to send demos to record labels, a change of name was considered. After a long discussion, somebody complained, "Too many names and too much confusion," to which a response was given, "Not confusion, Con Funk Shun." The question was then asked, "What’s that?" and the answer came, "Con Funk Shun is organized confusion." Needless to say, the name stuck.

As the original sleeve note writer states, Organized Con Funk Shun is "Great Stuff!" The album was recorded in Memphis and produced by Ted Sturges. If you love the sound of Con Funk Shun, this is the album you have been missing for many years. All major Con Funk Shun releases are also available on Robinsongs.
