"For the first time on CD are two classic soul-jazz albums from Young-Holt Unlimited originally released in '70 and '71 on Cotillion/Atlantic. These records have been sampled by many hip-hop artists and turntablists from DJ Shadow to Primal Scream and beyond. 'Queen of the Nile' has the bass line used by Eric B & Rakim's 'Don't Sweat The Technique.' Other highlights include 'Hot Pants,' which brings up the funk and 'Wah Wah Man' opens up with Redd Holt banging on his drums for a nice open break before the band goes into another funky jazz number."
