A Global Psychedelic Funk Curriculum 1968-1975 CD

This is a record collector's wet dream. Here's 14 impossibly rare psyche-funk gems from around the world with many unexpected sources like Istanbul, Seoul, Rome, Beirut, Cairo, Moscow, etc. The musical quality and beat sensibilities (drum breaks galore) are ridiculously high here, every track is a revelation (that Korean joint is my shit!). In addition, the in-depth liner notes, complete with original cover shots, reads like an issue of Wax Poetics. Highly recommended.
