Soul Seven, Peanut Butter Wolf

Editor's Review:

Leave it to DJ, producer, label owner and musical archivist Peanut Butter Wolf to cull this classic from the depths of funk’s past. PB Wolf transferred this entire performance from the original quarter-inch tape source recording to CD, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. Sure, it’s a live show put down on audio tape in 1970, but the richness and depth of the sound sports a living, breathing quality that is solely an attribute of analog recordings, even on CD. This show, which happened Monday June 22nd, 1970 at the Central Forest Panthers Club, feature five acts — Marchel Ivery Quintet, Soul Seven, Apollo Commanders, Black Maffia, Les Watson and The Panthers — all of whom represent with archetypal, down and dirty, big booty funk and soul music, and none of whom are remotely famous these days. That’s exactly what this CD is: a lost nugget of gold, rediscovered.
