This 19 track focus on Westbound output shines a light on some of the most sampled tracks in the history of the label. Hip Hop heads will recognise elements that went on to form part of new works but as standalone tracks in their own right there are some classy additions here. Spanky Wilson’s chugging ‘Kissing My Love’ is a classic with those pulsating organ stab and parping sax, The Magictones’ cover of Funkadelic’s ‘Good Old Music’ is a big, raw funk juggernaut while Pleasure Webb’s cool flute lead ‘Music Man Pt 2’ is a gem. Label biggies Funkadelic have three tracks listed including the cavernous ‘I’ll Bet You’, The Counts drop the sassy ‘Pack Of Lies’ while soulful moments come from Unique Blend’s laid back ballad ‘Does He Treat You Better’ and the Denise Lasalle’s crossover jewel ‘Heartbreaker Of The Year’.
