ReviewThey may not be essential as most funk fans understand the word, but this collection compiled by Deep Beats includes 14 great tracks -- most of which are rarely heard except by collectors sporting high-end turntables. It doesn't sound quite essential from the track listing -- "Hustle Bus Stop" by Masted, "Hypertension" by Calender, "The Message" by Cymande, "Every Way But Loose" by Plunky & the Oneness of Juju (remixed by disco legend Larry Levan), and "Waterbed, Pts. 1-2" by LTG Exchange -- but the grooves are deep and Essential Funk Classics is a great place to turn for listeners who think they've run out of great listening.
