I've often wondered on this myself, I really dug this album. If I remember correctly there was one or two funk 45 sounding tracks on here.
yeah, they sound like funk 45s with higher production values basically. good shit!
I found this at a flea and thought it was gonna be lame. Way pleasantly surprised.... excellent big band shit.
Bushman and Squatpot are the out and out funky ones I seem to remember?
It's a soundtrack right?
No, but the band was based upon a movie starring Frank Sinatra about Allied POW's trying to escape Italy on a train.
