As
we pick through the vaults of Inner City Records, owner George
Semper rattles off tales of recording funk 45s in the
back of Oakland record stores, playing with Cheech &
Chong, and chillin' with Al McKay of
the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. If his record
deal with Imperial records hadn't gone sour we may not have been
able to bring you these stories, and more importantly this compilation
of mostly unreleased funk and soul music that he produced between
1969 and 1977.
