The Korean label known as Big Pink offer the 2026 reissue of "What's In This Life For You". You can view their entire reissue catalog here at their website where they specialize in discovering Prog and Psychedelic gems like this. Below is one of my favorite uses of the drum break you'll find on this album, used by Pete Rock. D.I.T.C. & Dilla.
Get yourself a copy of this collectors item here at Juno Records or here at Amazon while you enjoy a '91 performance by Brand Nubian below I also posted the full instrumental version of "One For All" here in case you missed it before.
You can get a copy of the Korean 2026 CD reissue of "Reebop" here on Discogs or here at the Funk section of my eBay Storefront (disclosure: As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase).
Early sides like "40 Acres and a Mule" and "Blow Your Mind" displayed the influence of early Funkadelic, but by the time of their first album, 1974's Don't Fight the Feeling, their sound was a bit smoother around the edges. The title cut was a minor hit, and "Devil with the Bust" became an oft-sampled breakbeat classic in the years to come; other singles included "You've Broken My Heart" and 1975's "Boogie Woogie."
Although their recorded output was limited, Sound Experience enjoyed an enduring cult following among funk collectors; Collectables issued the career overview The Soulville Collection on CD in 1994, and acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson used the track "J.P. Walk" in his adult-film saga Boogie Nights." - Reservoir Recordings

Bear witness to a very inspiring moment in music history as The Voices Of East Harlem bear their hearts on behalf of inner city people. This uplifting blend of Gospel/Soul/Funk is bound to make you want to get up no matter what walk of life you're from. As a Harlem resident, I'm always intrigued by this and many works of art which were created this tumultuous period of the community during the 70's. Decades later, we now have the remastered version of this cult classic which includes 11 bonus tracks.
Above, The Voices Of East Harlem perform in concert footage from Sing Sing prison back in 1972. The Voices Of East Harlem were a community choir that grew from an inner city action project in 1969.
The Voices Of East Harlem's "Right On Be Free" Remastered With Bonus Tracks is also available on mp3 and CD here at Amazon. An original 1972 print advertisement from Elektra Records is available here on eBay.
It's a psychedelic experience like only Hendrix can do it on the expanded version of "Bold As Love". Prepare for a mind-altering journey that'll make you want to sit back and let the effects take over as The Jimi Hendrix Experience become your drug of choice.
On the 2025 deluxe reissue, you receive the 2025 Dolby Atmos Mix, 1967 Original Stereo Mix and 1967 Original Mono Mix. This includes demos, instrumentals and live versions one of which is a demo take of the famous breakbeat "Little Miss Lover".
