Eddie Bo is one of the funk icons. Ace re-issue label Vampisoul are set to release a brilliant retrospective due on March 3rd 2008. The New Orleans funkateer was a perfomer, composer, and producer on many funk classics, many of which we regularly spin at our ready steady go club nights. The compilation will be available on vinyl and CD and will include tracks from his early and formative years to the present days, including both his own recordings and his productions for other artists. The package will include a massive essay, biography, and liner notes penned by journalist/specialist Bryce White. In the meantime, for more on Eddie Bo, check out Radio Leeds’ very own DJ James “down in the grooves” Addyman’s tribute to the great man himself in our RSG archive.You can pre-order the CD here but I’ll be going for the vinyl myself!
