Présentation

Le 45T original date de 1975.

... So it was there that local guitarist and songwriter Vern Blair cut his only two 45rpm records : "Super Funk" (1975) was released on TELEPHONE, and "Mo Funk" (1977) was released on his own ETTA label, which he named after his wife. Great as it was having a record label and a 45 out in the marketplace, the innate problem that being on TELEPHONE was that distribution was a problem. After all the music was funk, not country – and couple that with a small press run to be distributed in an rural area far from major cities would mean only a limited amount would reach the public.
30 years on means that’s one RARE record – a record that is so rare it is yet to grace even Ian Wright & Keb Darge’s stupendous collections. Until now, of course, as we reissue both sides for the first time, direct from the original tapes.
