Product Review

Produced from original master tapes and with an in-depth booklet that includes interviews with Al and Ed Pazant, and also the band's producer Ed Bland for a full overview of their career. The compilation starts with the rare GWP singles 'Skunk Juice', 'Toe Jam', 'Groovin', 'Fever', 'Work Song' & 'Juicy Lucy'. These 6 tracks are joined by the both sides of the single that they released as the Chili Peppers, the 2 tracks that only appeared on rare GWP compilation albums, as well as an unreleased version of 'High Heel Sneakers'. Only 2 of these tracks have ever been reissued. Their single from the Vigor label, 'Chica Boom', backed with 'Greasy Greens' is included, both sides are now sought after by DJ's and sample collectors. The CD finishes off with the whole of the band's 1975 album for Vanguard, 'Loose And Juicy', that revisited and updated much of their earlier material. This funk gem is one of the most collectable of funk LP's, sought after for the constant high quality of the tracks. 23 total tracks. BGP. 2005.
