Various Artists - Twin Cities Funk & Soul - Lost R&B Grooves From Minneapolis St. Paul 1964-1979(2012)Secret Stash-Rare Soul(FLAC)

MINNEAPOLIS BASED SECRET STASH HAS,IN ITS RELATIVELY BRIEF EXISTENCE,AMASSED A
STERLING REPUTATION FOR ITS CRATE-DIGGING DILIGENCE AND ARCHIVAL PRODUCTION EXCELLENCE
MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL HAD A THRIVING SOUL SCENE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S.
OUTSIDE OF THE TWIN CITIES,WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SUCH MUSICAL TREASURES
WERE BEING RECORDED THERE,AND THIS LOVINGLY PRODUCED COMPILATION REVEALS THAT
THERE WAS SOME GREAT MUSIC INDEED,MANY YEARS BEFORE PRINCE BECAME SUCH A HOT
PROPERTY.THIS RELEASE FINDS THE LABEL PONDERING THE MUSICAL LEGACY IN ITS OWN BACK YARD.
OF THE MUSIC,WHICH IS SUPERBLY REMASTERED AND GENERALLY FREE OF VINTAGE SOURCE-MATERIAL
FLAWS,THE JOURNEY THROUGH THE TWIN CITIES PAST TOUCHES ON ALL THE EXPECTED ASPECTS
OF A REGIONAL SCENE OF THE ERA,FROM R&B HIPSHAKERS AND DIRTY-ASS BLASTS OF FUNK TO
SLEEK SOUL STRUTS AND TEARY-EYED BALLADRY TO PROTO-DISCO AND POSITIVITY-INSPIRED
FUNK/PSYCH.IT’S WHEN YOU START DIGGING INTO THE 21-TRACK ANTHOLOGY’S INNARDS,HOWEVER,
THAT THE SURPRISES COME TUMBLING FOURTH.YEAH, IT’S THAT GOOD IN MY OPINION.
