Product Description

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums by the soul/funk band. Fueled by the success of their first two albums on United Artists, the Brooklyn based Brass Construction continued their winning formula of horn driven funk jams with Brass construction III, released in 1977 - a banner year for funk bands thanks to hits by Earth Wind & Fire, Con Funk Shun, Brothers Johnson, Brick, Cameo & Slave (just to name a few). By 1978, the music industry - record labels, retail and radio wanted more disco and less funk and soul, while funk leaders such as George Clinton chose to flip the musical bird at this situation, Brass Construction's commander-in-chief Randy Muller tried to make peace with the band's fourth disc, IV, which resulted in shorter, more compact tunes yet it gave their audience the grooves they loved and desired. This CD brings together both albums for Brass Construction fans.
