New - V/A - Supafunkanova Vol. 3 (Compiled by Woody Bianchi) - 2xLP

Z Records are back with another instalment of badass funk from the disco era with Supafunkanova Vol. 3 which has been selected by prolific DJ, producer, remixer, and record collector, Woody Bianchi. Woody digs deep into his collection, compiling a high-quality album filled with lesser-known disco, funk, and boogie. As the title suggests, Supafunkanova focuses on the funkier end of the '70s and '80s, showcasing some of the bumpier grooves recorded in the disco era when even James Brown had to take notice of the Saturday Night Fever-inspired disco explosion. It will come as no surprise to hear some particularly hard to find gems have been unearthed here, and ones that aren't just rare and expensive (if you can even find a copy!) but genuinely merit being re-issued. With expansive sleeve notes by Woody himself to give you an in-depth insight to the music, artists, and personal discovery of each record. Z Records have been working on Vol. 3 for some time now as the first and second instalments were released way back in 2007 and 2015 respectively. It takes a while to put these albums together, tracking down the owners of these musical gems, finding the right image for the sleeve but it's finally come together.
