Album lore
The Funky 16 Corners (Expanded Edition), released by Now Again Records in 2001, assembles a robust collection of funk and jazz-funk instrumentals from a variety of regional outfits. This 24-track compilation brings together obscure grooves and soul-inflected jams, including the sunlit "Let's Go (It's Summertime)" and the taut rhythms of "The Funky 16 Corners." The album’s breadth ranges from raw, horn-driven workouts to smoother, bass-heavy numbers, tracing a lineage through 1970s funk scenes often overlooked in broader retrospectives.Issued as an expanded edition, this set preserves the original’s commitment to deep crate-digging while adding previously unreleased or hard-to-find cuts. The sequencing balances interludes and full-bodied tracks, capturing the eclectic spirit of funk’s instrumental canon. Now Again’s curation offers a reliable signal to DJs and collectors seeking both dancefloor-ready cuts and archival curiosities from the funk underground.
