Review by Jan 15, 2006 (edited over 6 years ago)
One of the best Reissue labels on funk at the moment. While others keep hunting down tons of allready heard funk classics, Mr Kimayer has released the ultimate killer funk rarities never heard of non-stop since the first 45, and he shows no signs of letting the glow fade. He has close contact with The Poets Of Rhythm and he puts unreleased and never-heard-before material on wax. Not only the Poets own music but he manage to find and dust of old forgotten mastertapes from the 70's. Don't ask me how he do it or how he find them, but he knows what we want and delivers them profoundly on high quality pressings. Releasing Bahama Soul Stew was just the most magnificent he has done to date.
If you are interested getting most of them right away without buying some relases here and some there. You may contact him directly and he ships it right away to you if there are any left. Great Bloke, great label. Highly recommended. Can't wait for his next move anytime.
