Of Rudy Ray Moore's album output, this soundtrack is one of the easier LPs to obtain. It's a good album, mixing funk and jazz in equal measures, but the jazz is second-rate and the funk is not consistent. There are few tracks and most are pressed in two versions, vocal and instrumental. The best track is the outstanding funk instrumental 'Zombie March', featuring a great horn riff over a fat breakbeat.

Funky music, dialogue and sound effects from the 1976 blaxploitation movie Black Shampoo. This is great for DJ/producers - with plenty of funky 70s music and clean dialogue to scratch or sample.

This album contains some obscure blaxploitation cuts from the Fred Williamson movie 'Adios Amigo'. The movie theme is pretty tight - good strong groove, slightly cod Mexican feel to it, but it moves well. The other two tracks from the movie are forgettable love themes. The first side of this LP comprises the funk tracks - there's a strong hard funk cut in Ju Ju - while the flip tracks are the dull soulful numbers. Worth a dig.

In our continuing mission to track down all sorts of obscure funk music as featured in the movies of the 1970s, we finally tracked down the music that's featured in B-movie blaxploitation classic 'Candy Tangerine Man'. It's from quite an easy-to-find funk LP, the self-title release by Smoke. The music is quality mid-70s dancefloor funk, pretty tight all through. Mostly vocal, it's not a standard soundtrack record and makes no mention of the movie on the sleeve, but check out the film then look at the hats of the guys on the LP sleeve... anyway, 3 tracks from this LP were used in the movie. Good stuff.
