Various Artists - Super Breaks Volume 1 (1999)

Like the rest of the Super Breaks series, the first volume is ostensibly built around records that have been sampled by hip-hoppers, but can really be enjoyed by anyone looking for some quality obscure soul funk. The 20 tracks here span the late 1960s to the late 1970s, balanced between little-known tracks by noted artists (Jackie Wilson, Isaac Hayes, the Blackbyrds), mid-level soul artists (Syl Johnson, the Emotions, the Detroit Emeralds, the Soul Children, Fatback Band), and non-hitmakers, with a couple of actual well-known cuts (Joe Simon's "Drowning in the Sea of Love" and Lowell Fulson's "Tramp") to boot. It's the variety and quality that make this and its companion volumes worthy standouts, particularly in a genre that wasn't (as of 2000) over-mined to death. You have sultry female-sung grinders, hot instrumentals, soul-jazz crossovers (Cannonball Adderley's "Walk Tall," Burning Spear's flute-motored "S.O.U.L."), go-go music in the Ramsey Lewis mold (Googie Rene Combo's "Smokey Joe's La La"), even cheesy then-futuristic synth funk (Jean Jacques Perrey's oft-sampled "Eva"). It's not all killer; some of the later-vintage offerings are more in the standard soul-turning-to-disco form. It's one of the better anthologies to start with, though, if you're looking to collect stuff in this style beyond the norm. [This U.K. import is not available for sale in North America.]

Various Artists - Super Breaks, Vol. 2 (2000)

Like volume one of Super Breaks, this features funk songs from the late '60s to the late '70s that have been sampled for hip-hop productions. Whether that's the launching point of your interest in this material or not, it can be enjoyed as a crawl through some underexposed vintage funk music, some by fairly famous artists, some by unknowns. Actually, William De Vaughan's "Be Thankful for What You Got" was a megahit, but that's the only track of the sort on the CD (though Tex's "Papa Was, Too" was a fairly big R&B single). Isaac Hayes, Freda Payne, Rufus Thomas, Joe Tex, the Fatback Band, the Detroit Emeralds, and the Emotions are all heard from, though the tracks bound to arouse the greatest pique from collectors are the ones no one's really heard, like Baby Huey's cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Hard s." Some of this is only average stuff for the style, to be honest, but there are more exciting tracks as well, like Payne's "Unhooked Generation," which will please anyone who liked "Band of Gold," even if it never got even a thousandth of the attention. All the People's "Cramp Your Style" and Wilbur Bascomb and the Zodiac's "Just a Groove in G" are decent obscure early-'70s funk workouts, of the kind that fill up those compilations of artists who James Brown worked with or produced, though Brown didn't happen to collaborate with these folks. Detailed liner notes explain which hip-hoppers used bits of these songs in later days, for those who are interested. [This U.K. import is not available for sale in North America.]

Various Artists - Super Breaks Volume 3 (2002)

The third volume of Super Breaks maintains the high standards set by this series in several ways: the quality of the material, eclecticism of the tracks within a '60s and '70s soul-funk-jazz crossover spectrum, and mixture of obscure songs by stars with obscure tunes by just plain obscure artists. Although cuts by Marvin Gaye, the Coasters, and Sly & the Family Stone are found here, none of them are the ones you're likely to hear on oldies stations, or even noncommercial specialist programs. Gaye's "T Plays It Cool" is wiggly, futuristic instrumental funk from his early-'70s soundtrack to Trouble Man, for instance, while the Coasters' "Soul Pad" is goofy modern soul from 1967 and Sly & the Family Stone's "Trip to Your Heart" is from their relatively unheralded debut Epic album. True, some of this disc is 1970s funk, some from leading lights like Funkadelic and the Bar Kays. Yet there are unpredictable side trips to artists few would dare to include on such thematic comps, like the spacy jazz-funk cut "The Rose" from San Francisco late-'60s psychedelic cult band Fifty Foot Hose, the fusion cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Jimmy Ponder, mid-'70s fusion from Hampton Hawes, and an excellent 1964 sorrowful girl group-soul ballad by Wendy Rene (selected due to its being sampled by Wu Tang Clan on "Tearz"). If you're looking for more well-known samples here, bits of Johnny Jenkins' "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" were appropriated for both Beck's "Loser" and Oasis' "Go Let It Out." If you're not looking for samples (though the modern records that have sampled these tracks are detailed in the liner notes), it's still a good collection of off the beaten track music, if a little erratic and occasionally mundane.

Tracklist:

01. Johnny Jenkins - I Walk on Gilded Splinters (5:18)

02. Marvin Gaye - T Plays It Cool (4:27)

03. Hampton Hawes - Web (3:31)

10. Pleasure Web - Music Man (Pts 1 & 2) (5:18)

11. Mad Lads - No Strings Attached (2:29)

12. Wendy Rene - After Laughter Comes Tears (3:00)

14. BT Express - This House is Smoking (2:13)

15. The Bar Kays - Holy Ghost (3:55)
