The Propositions - Funky Proposition. 1972-73 USA-Michigan (archival)

I recently had a chance to hear their 45 'Africana', and my response was: 'Africana' is a killer slice of early 70s instrumental Detroit funk. Heavy thick bass, wah wah guitar, Hammond organ, flute, big 'ol fat horn section, and funky drums. Not much else one can ask for in the funk genre. Then I came to learn there was a full 2 CD set of material. And what a set it is! Very much in the same style as my response above. There's a strain of funk I really enjoy and The Propositions may be the best band yet that I've heard to tap into that strain. Even better than The Beginning of the End.

Ownership: CD: 2005 Luv N' Haight. Recent online acquistion. Fantastic 2 CD set with extensive liner notes with band participation.
