To start the new year with a bang, Reality Unit is bringing you the Boscoe LP. Where to begin with this album... let’s first go with the facts. It was released on the microscopic “Kingdom of Chad” records out of Chicago in 1973. Only a few local collectors and funk enthusiasts knew of it until recently. Over the last few years the album’s rarity (few had heard it) and high price (those who had weren’t sharing) created a bit of a mythos. This hype was followed inevitably by discussion in certain collector circles of its relative worth. Now the word “Boscoe” has turned into an in-joke for certain online message boards. Now the opinions. All hype aside, it’s still a pretty good album. Boscoe sounds a lot like the Pharaohs: tight musicians playing funk with an afro-centric message of black unity. Their vocals are very gospel or R&B influenced, trading off bass and tenor parts similar to Funkadelic. But what I really like about Boscoe is they were creative, and as a result don’t sound exactly like anybody else. Many funk groups in the 1970s had a tendency to sound like James Brown (RIP) lite, which is why I am not personally interested in funk 45s. The cover design is oh so nice to boot, and the back has a personal message from each player, with his sign and a personal message (“Music interests me because I dig creative things...”). The lyrics are similarly cheesy, but take it in the spirit of the era. If you can get over the vernacular, you’ll find an album well worth your attention.
