2012 collection containing rare and obscure funky licks from the ex-Soviet Bloc including Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia and the German Democratic Republic. The Funk Experience range is the premier source for funky grooves from off-the-beaten-track with sales across the series standing at 35,000 units. Features Herbie Hancock style funk workouts, Psychedelic '60s Pop, Prog-Disco, Satellite-Soul and Hendrix style Funk Rock from some of the biggest names in these countries during the '60s and '70s. The Iron Curtain may have isolated these states from the rest-of-the-world yet whether slipped under the curtain as illicit imports or manufactured in limited quantities and released domestically, records by artists such as James Brown, Average White Band and Graham Central Station found their way to this part of the world.
