Uncle Funkenstein • Together Again



This is the first volume in Jazzman's Holy Grail series, including the rarest and most coveted soul, funk and jazz LPs ever released. And that's what Uncle Funkenstein is all about. Never before on eBay and impossible to find, this is an ultra-rare LP from1983 that funk collectors talk about but never see. One of the ultimate private-press funk/jazz LPs, with just a handful of known copies. The original album bears all the hallmarks of a local, private press album -- black and white budget cover, home-made "conceived on a kitchen table" sleeve design, self-produced and on a shoe-string budget. Some of these kinds of records are over-hyped and have all kinds of amazing things said about them -- only for the MUSIC itself to disappoint. Not so with Uncle Funkenstein -- you'll know that from the moment you hit track 1 and the awesome bass blows you away. Horn-driven, piano-smattered classic jazz with shakers full of big-hipped funk.

Traducción Automática:
Este es el primer volumen de la serie del Santo Grial de Jazzman, que incluye los LP de soul, funk y jazz más raros y codiciados jamás lanzados. Y de eso se trata el tío Funkenstein. Nunca antes en eBay e imposible de encontrar, este es un LP ultra-raro de 1983 que los coleccionistas de funk hablan pero nunca ven. Uno de los mejores LP de música privada de funk / jazz, con solo un puñado de copias conocidas. El álbum original tiene todas las características de un álbum de prensa local, privado: portada de presupuesto en blanco y negro, diseño de manga hecho en casa "concebido en una mesa de cocina", de producción propia y con un presupuesto ajustado. Algunos de estos tipos de registros están sobrevalorados y se han dicho todo tipo de cosas sorprendentes sobre ellos, solo para que la MÚSICA en sí misma decepcione. No es así con el tío Funkenstein: lo sabrás desde el momento en que toques la pista 1 y los increíbles bajos te dejarán boquiabierto. Jazz clásico clásico con bocinas y vibraciones con vibradores llenos de funk.

  1. Oh, man, this is terrific stuff! LOVE me some 70's jazz funk: hair picks, stacked shoes, velvet suits and gold chains. Tube tops, bell bottoms and right-on attitude! Funky as a mosquito's tweeter! thanks for this!

  3. As a point of interest, sometimes a record company's hype is to be taken with a grain of salt. Going to Discogs, I found whole bunch of this recording on sale starting at 5.99. Not the original LPs for sure, but if you're just looking for the music, it's easily available.
