Review: This superbly timed and forever festive three-LP set showcases seasonal funk sounds from 1966 to 970. Holiday fan or not, these tracks, which are mostly original compositions, capture James Brown at the height of his career and rival his best grooves from the era. Packed with bonus tracks and insightful liner notes by Alan Leeds - Brown's former publicist and tour manager - the set offers an unparalleled glimpse into his festive yet funky brilliance and has been mastered and cut by the legendary Kevin Gray. Perfect for anyone who deserves an early dose of timeless, soulful holiday cheer.

Review: The Martin Denny reissue series continues at pace with one of his most sought-after albums. Exotic Moog was initially released in 1969 and pretty much does what it says on the tin - takes the iconic Moog synth and conjures up all manner of exotic and spaced-out sounds that leave you laying back and gazing on in awe. There's a retro-future feel to them which makes them all the more likable, and though some are beatless pieces of suspensory scene-setting, there are some breezy grooves like 'I Talk To The Trees' and sentimental space waltzes like 'The Enchanted Sea'. A characterful world of cinematic sounds for sure.

The Meters (limited apple red vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: JPR 086LP. Rel: 23 Nov 23
Review: In terms of funk, the importance of The Meters can't ever be overstated. Compared to what the likes of James Brown and George Clinton were up to elsewhere, down in New Orleans Zigaboo Modeliste, George Porter Jr, Leo Nocentelli and Art Neville were cooking up their own Southern-fried style which had a groove all of its own. Despite their influential status on the Bayou sound and their constantly-sampled catalogue, they remain a cult favourite deserving of far more shine. The best place to start with their considerable catalogue is at the beginning, on their debut album where you'll hear such iconic grooves as 'Cissy Strut' and 'Here Comes The Meter Man'.

Review: The original Bayou sound pioneers from New Orleans, The Meters are all-too-often overlooked when it comes to the origins of the funk. At least now Jackpot are embarking on this reissue run of their early albums, giving some seriously seminal grooves a fresh airing. Hot on the heels of their self-titled debut, Look Ka Py Py arrived in 1970 with production from Allen Toussaint and featured another suite of instrumental jams which dug deeper into the band's sound. Hanging right behind the pocket, these simple but abundantly rich rhythms have lived many lives out in the wild through generations of sample culture and beyond, but sometimes you've got to go back and savour the source.

Struttin' (limited blue jay vinyl LP (indie exclusive))
Cat: JPR 088LP. Rel: 19 Oct 23
Review: Jackpot's revisit to The Meters' early days continues with this limited blue vinyl pressing of their third album, Struttin'. Not even waiting a year after their second album Look A Py Py, the New Orleans funk pioneers knew they were onto a good thing and hopped straight back to the studio to lay down another 12 loose and limber joints which helped shape out the sound of the Bayou. The likes of 'Chicken Strut' and 'Hand Clapping Song' make a strong case for the shape of music that was yet to come, soon to be remoulded in a tidal wave of hip-hop sampling, but still so def in its original, raw and rolling form.
