Various – One Way Glass (Dancefloor Prog, Brit Jazz & Funky Folk 1968-1975)

This collection is an unique three CD set that takes a fresh look at British music from the late 60s through the mid-70s, with an eye on overlooked dancefloor-friendly finds. ’One Way Glass’ boats some excellent funky Folk tracks by Alan James Eastwood and Bridget St John and more typical Funk Rock selections come from artists like Hanson (featuring future Bob Marley & The Wailers mainstay Junior Marvin)* and Curtis Knight Zeus (fronted by *Jimi Hendrix’s old bandmate and future Motorhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke).
