Notes
From Hype Sticker:
Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series Purple Funk. Unvarnished, raw and unabashedly funk, this relentlessly infectious set of monster grooves combines the best of the Rudy Van Gelder's signature sound with the gritty, hypnotic improvisational moments of The Meters, resulting in a tantalizingly primal stew of blues, soul, jazz, and funk. Features the oft-sampled, non-stop burner, Kool Is Back. First-Ever 180-Gram Vinyl Reissue.

Reviews
- Oh my oh my. An album that lives up to its name, im kicking myself for not hearing it until my tea total'd late 30s.... my cheeba tokin 20yr old self would be buggin out! This just sounds gigantic and the soloing on the BB King cover is just eargasmic level.
Deserves a half decent budget system but anything from that onwards allows this to fill a room stunningly.
This is why record collecting/listening is a most addictive and satisfying pastime!
