I have this record since before but I can really recommend it!

Reuben Wilson is really great as an organ funk player.

To anyone interested in one of the best organ funk records from way back I would recommend Reuben Wilsons 'Blue Mode' from 1969. In Blue Mode Reuben Wilson uses a number of organ funk bass lines together with funky right hand riffs, and he has the great Melvin Sparks on guitar. A few tracks (actually half of that record) in this compilation is collected from Blue Mode: Orange Peel, Bus Ride and Blue Mode.

My favourite is without any hesitation the super funky and catchy Orange Peel.
