There has been more than one compilation series entitled Rare Funk over the years and this one concentrates on a particular sub genre of funk with each volume. Presented for you is Volume 6 which, in theory, is based on mod style funk. However the tracks collected here are really quite diverse and only have one thing in common - they are all funking awesome! Included within is the best version of "It's Your Thing" I have ever heard, the relentless "Jungle Fantasy" and the much loved "Hippy Skippy Moon Strut" which seems to appear under the title of "Hippy Skippy Moon Stomp" on this disk, but I'm sure it is "Strut" (that's what they sing on the track at least). There is also some confusion over whether the title of  Track 8 is "Chili Music" or "Chili Mac", I have seen it listed as both so I'm not sure either way. Anyone have the answer for me?

Most of the cuts are instrumental but there are two vocal songs in the form of the very cool "Why Did You Do It?" and "Jimmy Bean". I have some more of the Rare Funk series in my collection and will put them up sometime in the future.

Hey Man, this is Ty from righteous empire, very cool site! Ive added a link to your blog on mine. If you get a chance, i have an album on there called "heavy deep funk" which has 55 killer underground tunes on it, and i think it would be right up your alley!
Anyways cheers!
