Andy Smith

Digging In The BGP Vaults (BGP 2008)

A masterful set of old school funk & soul put together by DJ Andy Smith, who also worked some magic a few years back for the BGP label on the Northern Soul tip, this time out doing his thing with prime funk from the late 60s & early 70s! Smith does a excellent job of mixing sample classics that helped build golden age hip hop, many deeper tracks, funk nuggets from The Blackbyrds, Billy Garner, Funk Inc, Spanky Wilson and many more! Titles include "Cracklin' Bread" by Dave Hamilton, "It's My Thing"by Betty Moorer, "I Don't Know What It Is But It Sure Is Funky" by Ripple, "I Got Some" by Billy Garner", "Can't Get Enough" by 87th Of Broadway, "Skunk Juice" by Pazant Brothers, "I'm A Good Woman" by The Generation", "Tighten Up" by Roosevelt Matthews and more. This is only one .mp3-file for the whole mixtape, if someone has another version please post the link into the comments.
