Various - Dave Hamiltons Detroit Funk Rare And Unreleased Twisted Funk 1967 1975
Review by Vladimir Vakhmyanin
Dave Hamilton's Detroit Funk Rare and Unreleased Twisted Funk 1967-1975 is a vibrant and exciting collection of funk and soul tracks that have been unearthed from the archives of the legendary Detroit producer. Featuring a range of talented artists from the era, the album offers a rare glimpse into the rich and diverse musical landscape of the Motor City during this period.
From the infectious grooves of The Counts' "Funk Pump" to the soulful vocals of Joe Scott's "You're My Everything", the album is a showcase of the raw energy and creativity that was present in the Detroit music scene during this time. The funk rhythms are tight and punchy, the horns are brassy and bold, and the vocals are gritty and soulful.
The album is expertly curated and sequenced, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next. The sound quality is excellent, with each instrument and vocal coming through clear and crisp. The liner notes provide valuable context and background information on the artists and the songs, making it a great educational resource for fans of funk and soul music.

- A must for all fans of the Superfunk series is BGP’s exploration of legendary Detroit producer Dave Hamilton’s funk recordings. Hamilton’s soul sides have already been explored over 3 volumes on Kent, this is also a perfect complement for those who enjoy the unique sounds of his Detroit studio.
- Like their northern counterparts, Hamilton’s funk releases are highly sought-after and very rare. His awesome productions on New Day for Billy Garner produced two singles, included here. We also feature the original 45 edit of what we presume was to be Billy’s third New Day release ‘Brand New Girl’, which became a funk classic when released by BGP about five years back. The only other New Day 45 by OC Tolbert is also present and correct.
- Bobby Dee, the Webb People, Gip Roberts and Dave himself represent a strong selection of the rare funk 45s that appeared on Hamilton’s labels TCB and Demoristic. Whilst Chico and Buddy, who were ever-present in Dave’s studio are represented by their great Tayster release ‘Can You Dig It’.
- The records are rare, but at least you could hunt them down if you wanted the originals. You’d be unable to source eight of the 20 tracks as they are previously unreleased and include some unbelievable gems. Cuts by James Carpenter, Dave Hamilton and the Future Sounds are as good discoveries as you are likely to hear. Johnnie Walker’s ‘Funky Trip’ is a better version, complete with mad effects (a sort of Detroit dub!) of his rare sought-after 45 on the New Detroit label called ‘Love At First Taste’.
