Psych Funk 101 – A Global Psychedelic Funk Curriculum 2xLP
If you’re like me, you see Stones Throw is selling this record, read the title, and don’t even need to listen to it, you just order it. This new compilation features psychedelic funk from Nigeria, Iran, Turkey, and more. It spans 1967-1980, and was curated with the help of Now-Again maestro Egon. Plus, it’s a limited edition gatefold 2xLP for only $15.98. This is the steal of the week. Visit StonesThrow.com.
