Description
Frank Booker’s Collected Works marks the first new release on his own new label Music First. It comes after many years of earning a fine rep for killer edits and originals and getting props from big wigs like Rahaan, Red Greg and DJ Nature amongst many others.
Things kick off with ‘The Sun’ which starts with a cinematic bit of spoken word scene setting then turns into a nice and catchy deep disco jam before ‘Egbe Mi O (edit)’ is a more percussive hip swinger with funky bass riffs and great hand claps on his reworking of a Fela Kuti classic.
‘El Salvador’ explores a steamy and summery disco-house sound with more funky riffs and freewheeling chords and ‘Universal Drive’ closes out with a nice bongo-laced and enticing groove for the steamy late-night hours.
All tracks have been remastered for 2024 by Downbeat Mastering.
Notes: the record is brand new and unplayed. The sleeve has been graded as Very Good Plus because one of the corners is creased. Photo supplied on request.
