I supplied the records Dante didn't and this was brought up when the box was released.... the selective props are always interesting

How so? I know you were pretty close to it, but apart from a couple of blanks (Johnny Talbot is a fairly well-known Bay Area soul/blues musician, but the annotator didn't appear to know anything about him at all), they did alright. I'd rather see this than see yet another shoutout to some obscure DJ pool in the UK.
I got the vinyl 45s set for Xmas and the booklet was lacking. Just a single folded sheet.
Is the cd booklet more in-depth?
The 82-page book has lots of photos, info on each track, and a nice introduction which welcomes the casual funk fan into the world of the more obscure.
I enjoyed the packaging as well. But now I want the 45 box.
So - how much of this set was mastered from vinyl?
I would have thought that with the big $$$ behind it,
the master tapes for the majority of tracks could have
been used. I realize there are a few genuine raers, but
I'm curious how much of it was just ripped from wax ...

I'm pretty sure mines and Dante's wax was used to get a very accurate detail of the labels and none of them were used to master audio from. the whole thing sound really good.
Some guy contacted me about using my sexy coffee pot and United 8 records. I'm pretty sure they only wanted them to use the label art. I think the set is just great, however I just wasn't down with mailing off my copies of these across the country to some stranger.

Can anybody find me a scan of the booklet?
The 45's are twice the price and NO booklet?

All I'm saying is that if someone is reaching out to people (read: collectors) to get specific material to help further the quality of a compilation, wouldn't you go ahead and ask said collector if they have any facts about additional artists/songs that are lacking pertinent info?
I mean, you could ask any dude in Chicago and they could tell you who Johnny Cameron was.
Liner notes say zilch.
Pretty much any truly obscure artist on the set have skimpy, fact-lacking notes.
I'm not salty, I'm just depressed by the distortion of focus on some people's part.
So far in this thread I've learned that Oliver did the book, Dante and yoigotbeats supplied records, but Dante hates the book and yoigotbeats wants his props for supplying records. Confused.
For those who have the 45 box-set or have info: Are the 45s pressed nicely? Were they mastered direct from analog sources or do they contain digital BS?
As far as I could tell, Oliver did the intro which was a piece about Funk music. I don't think he did the following liner notes on each track on the comp though.

That's how I heard about it.I've been listening to cuts from this for a while via Yahoo radio. I asked for it for Christmas but didn't get it.
Launchcast is alright, but it's nothing compared to Pandora.
You are correct.
Dude, I'm surprised you didn't throw your hat in the ring to get that writing assignment.
