Superfunk

back in stock on vinyl. musically speaking, 'superfunk' was the most diverse release put out by funk inc. it was recorded at fantasy studios in berkeley with david axelrod doing production. there's a slow and bluesy version of 'message' from the meters, a soul-jazz take of chuck mangione's 'the hill where the lord hides', as well as the straight soul of 'honey, i love you', and the upbeat funk of 'just don't mean a thing', that are originals. the best is saved for last with a pretty straightforward cover of barry white's 'i'm going to love you' with congas added.
