East of Underground, the gritty runner-up, managed to capture the spirit of America with their sweet-soul covers of Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and Funkadelic. The quality of the recording is superior, as is the musicianship: the falsetto harmonies, the gritty guitar, the devouring drums. But song choice is just as responsible for the success of the album. Unlike other obscure-funk reissues and compilations, East of Underground is immediately familiar, instantly gratifying, and endlessly playable. And especially poignant today. Only a handful of original copies known to exist, the album is now reissued for the first time on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"2sziac-5382ue-gcmo91-3iwb48\" data-cel-widget=\"dpx-detail-bullets_csm_instrumentation_wrapper\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" cel_widget_id=\"dpx-detail-bullets_csm_instrumentation_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-csa-c-id=\"ov6di9-dqnos6-l5eu9j-a9qxf7\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBullets_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\" data-feature-name=\"detailBullets\" data-template-name=\"detailBullets\" class=\"a-section feature detail-bullets-wrapper bucket\" data-cel-widget=\"detailBulletsWrapper_feature_div\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"02- Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53278193025324,"sku":"659457522315","price":8.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6484\/5612\/files\/east.jpg?v=1780640611","url":"https:\/\/aureliavinyl.com\/products\/east-of-underground-east-of-underground-lp","provider":"AURELIA VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
