    By the way Mandrill is super common in Finland, but I just have never found one cheap enough to cop.

    To be clear, I understood common-ass as a record one sees in most record stores. I have that Mandrill record, but did not see it before I bought it and have not seen it since.

    If you mean common-ass to Strutters, then I did not read your initial post correctly.

    Either way, I'll be surprised if it is that Mandrill record.

    i ment, if you lined up all of soulstruts entire record collection which funk record would pop up the most ?

    I think this is the most common of the classic KATG records:


    And this has to be way up there on the "everybody has this one" list

    JB's common? if im not mistaken a clean copy of Doing it to Death goes for $40+... most NY, LA, Chi diggers may think these records are common but in smaller markets you can search for years without finding original JB's LP's.

    Also, Tough Guys is an easier pull then Superfly?? NO...I think Superfly is probably the universal funk unifiyer.

    I passed on that Mandrill a couple weeks back but its maybe the 2nd time ive seen it in the field, first time at a reasonable price...

    this question is not really all that simple.

    everyone should have kool and the gang-light of worlds
    probably my favorite koolnda gang

    i walked (i walked and walked)
    like a zombie in the niiiiight

    yeah light of worlds is great street corner symphony is my shiit

    to my knowledge though live at the sex machine is more common, and from that particular period in time, id say the most common of their albums has to be love and understanding..

    noway.light of the worlds is pretty much a dollar record. but still so so so good.
    besides being on some zombie in the night bizness....some eat to live fruitman steez and come on now dont even front that you dont like summer madness action. light of the worlds is the king.




    as far as the universal funk records that balance essentialness and ease of finding them shits i gotta go with hot buttered soul (bassie...if you cant classify this as a funk record, your eyes are fuzz impervious) and superfly stk. no decent home is complete without them. any strutter without should be chastised/ridiculed/tarrednfuckinfeathered with the quickness

    i haven't pulled this out in some time but it has to be another soulstrut funk staple.

    Hot Buttered Soul and Superfly are Soul records. Funky not FUNK.

    One Funk song on a Soul album doesnt make said album a FUNK LP.

    HBS or Superfly don't really turn up in Finland and I never found them in the field in decent shape in SF. Hell if I'm going to have to start checking for that stuff on ebay. I'd rather accept my tar and feathers please.

    If you don't have at least 5 records by each of James Brown, Sly, Curtis, and Parliament/Funkadelic...please never tell me about a raer again.

    pretty sure every beginner Timmy Diggalot starts out with doubles of the Sly and the Family Stone greatest hits LP. saying $hit like; "Sing a Simple song got braeks dudes"...

    Superfly [is] a FUNK LP.

    Little Child Runnin Wild - funky Soul
    Pusherman - Funk
    Freddie's Dead - funk Soul
    Junkie Chase - instrumental
    Give me Your Love - soul
    Eddie U should know better - Soul
    No Thing On Me - Soul
    Think - Instrumental/Soul
    Superfly - Funk

    not sure if people are still holding on to their new births, if so, this would maybe be in the top 10 ?

    hot buttered soul (bassie...if you cant classify this as a funk record, your eyes are fuzz impervious)

    Triple, if you classify Hot Buttered Soul as a funk record, it ain't your eyes that have a problem.
    I'll sooner concede to pigs flying than HBS being a funk record.

    But this isn't a.....oh never mind.

    Little Child Runnin Wild - funky Soul

    Pusherman - Funk

    Freddie's Dead - Funk

    Junkie Chase - instrumental counterpoint funk

    Give me Your Love - most definitely funk ballad

    Eddie U should know better - i am not sure how to classify this song but its not pure soul (there are some latin things going on in there as well)

    No Thing On Me - Soul (although he chants "sure is funky" a few times)

    Think - Instrumental/Soul

    Superfly - Funk

    meh. at the very least, along with the growing superfly back and forth, we found something to argue about. the hallmark of a good soulstrut thread
