Instant Funk – Instant Funk

A great party record with a few quiet storm jams. Around this era, there were a lot of bands mixing hard funk, disco and New Wave to come up with something totally new: electro-funk. Instant Funk was among that crew, which also included Lakeside, One Way, Gap Band, Dazz Band, Imagination, Zapp & Roger, Cameo, Rick James and tons more. The big horns are still in play, but there's electronic elements too, especially on 'Dark Vader". Good times.

The first track "I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl)" with a playing time of 5:19.
On many LP releases the track is 7min long.

My copy is not shown in the list, same cover picture but missing the ice cube and has title in red I GOT MY MIND MADE Up at the top of the sleeve, also red text on the top right corner "features the 9:40 disco remix of hit single I got my mind made up now available on any other album" Looks like an original 1979 issue not listed here? .. anyway hit me up if you want to buy NM copy
cat number on label is SSLP1511

This amazme again. 23 people gave a 3 (stand 09/2017), even a 2 or a 1 to this GREAT Soul album, maybe one of the greatest of the entire Salsoul Label (along with some of The Salsoul Orchestra & Double Exposure), and made in the great, great year 1979??? What?? I don´t go also to the Metal, Rock or anyhow other styles releases to vote those ones, as I don´t hear these days much of them and this music style regularly. Again, IF YOU DON´T LIKE Disco or this music here, DON´T RATE IT, please!!! This reacord here deserve at least a 4,5 points rank, IMO...

PD: Second time this week, that I see a good album voted by unconscious people don´t have any clue of it, consideration, or know the whole cultural & historical background in which a special one music record was created. And by the way, as a matter of principle, RESPECT to musicianship & history, and love to Music I will NEVER give a(n) (old) record a note 1 or 2. I prefer then not to vote it, and move on, simple as that! Thanks!

Tracks 12 and 13 probably taken from a vinyl source.
