Funk Inc. Priced To Sell

 

Prestige records  1974 P 10087

credits and notes:

Priced To Sell would be Funk,Inc.'s last LP for Prestige. 

A more melodic mix of modes from Funk Inc  with some cool production 

by David Axelrod. The band's gritty funky is stretched out this time, 

and overall the sound's got kind of that mid 70s Prestige feel  

but the work in a variety of styles here. Includes cooking jazzy funk & soul,

bits of the gritty groove they made their name on, and a couple tunes 

with some emotive lead and soaring backing vocals! "Where Are We Going" 

and "Price to Sell". Also includes "It Ain't The Spotlight", "God Only Knows", 

"Gimme Some Lovin'", "Somewhere In My Mind" and "The Girl Of My Dreams".
