i haven't got my hand on the newest daptone 45' yet, but i can highly
recommend the former releases. especially "got to be the way it is" by
sharon jones and "take it as it come" by charles bradley and sugarman & co
are just pure street funk pleasure/mayhem. the daptone frontman mr. gabe
roth has kept up excellent quality, as it was with his former imprint desco
records as well.
anyone into raw deep funk check the daptone site out:
