Taken from the Motion Records collection of rare funk, soul and soulful reggae cuts by some of Jamaica's finest musicians. The album includes some hugely collectable rarities, much sought after by DJs.
The majority of the tracks were recorded at Kingston's legendary Randy's Studio, some produced by the late Vincent Chin and the rest by Clive Chin. The Lynn Taitt cuts were produced by Victor Chin in New York. Clive trawled the Randy's Studios archives to come up with several of the rare unreleased tracks here.
Motion's 'Funky Trip' project consists of two 10-inch EPs, a CD album, plus a special collector's LP pressed on 180gm vinyl with a gatefold sleeve. There are slight differences in the tracklists of the CD and LP.
Although reggae was the dominant force in Jamaican music at the time, there was still a demand for covers of the soul, funk and disco tunes heard at dances and on the radio. But with the 1973 release of the stunning Lynn Taitt 7-inch 'Stepping Up' backed with 'Out On A Funky Trip', Taitt broke the mould by coming up with two compositions of his own that bear comparison with any American funksters like The Meters or The JBs.
Also included on the album are Jablonski's 'Soul Makossa', possibly the wildest and most dancefloor-friendly version of the Manu Dibangu classic. Generation Gap offer their take on Edwin Starr's 'War', funk fans Skin, Flesh & Bones provide three of their trademark floor fillers, and Barry Waite & Ltd's 'Funky Sting' (Parts 1 & 2) are sparse wah wah funk gems, from a 7-inch much sought after by collectors. There are also soulful cuts from The Maytals, Tommy McCook, King Cole and Eric Frater.
