Description
"This anthology follows Now-Again’s Loving On The Flipside, issued more than a decade ago. And that anthology itself got its start in a different time, a decade even earlier – the era in which Now-Again’s Egon and his friends chased down funk 45s and the odd LP for their testosterone riddled, aggressive sound. Often times the funk song on one of their chosen 45s would be the throw-away b-side, the hasty afterthought the band cobbled together the night before hitting – or while in – the studio because they’d put all of their energies into writing the amazing ballad that would ensure their entry in soul’s history books. Then they started flipping those funk records over to find some loving on the flip side. Some marvelous tunes were there to be found. This is the long awaited follow up. Contained within this anthology are some of the greatest soul ballads that go sweet with a beat - or, to follow our tagline, epitomize "sweet funk." Most of these songs have never been compiled. Some have never been issued in any form. Some, like the Ledgends entry here, were sampled to great success (in that case for Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's 'Deeper'). Some haven't been sampled, but, like Herb Johnson's entry, are patiently awaiting their day." - Now-Again
