reissue of the first soulfire cd! soul strike is a raw-ass piece of instrumental funk, served straight up on a platter of nasty. from the very first note, you can tell that this is real deal, old-school funk played the way it should always be played: rough. calypso king & the soul investigators take us back, way back, to a time when locking into a groove meant something. with two sides of breakbeat-laden hard funk instrumentals, this record is the answer to all your bbq/funk needs. tip!

many reggae aficionados see the concentrated phase of rock steady between 1967 - 1969 as the carribeans most productive era of all time. never before had such sweet melodies, inspiring rhythms and beautiful love lyrics come together. numerous soul hits by the likes of curtis mayfield, the impressions, the supremes all got the bass-driven, jamaican style treatment.
