The pinnacle of non-American funk! A super-duper funky sound! The funk band REALITY, who overwhelmed funk and rare groove fans with their furious performance of percussive beats, is now available on CD for the first time in the world!
Reality is a funk band of 8 members led by soul singer Tony Sherman, also known as Tony and Reality. This is the only album under the name of Reality. The original version was released in 1972 by Blue Elephant in the Netherlands, but it was also released by POLYDOR in Brazil, so at the time it was mistaken for a Brazilian funk band, and the overwhelming funky sound is piled on with intense percussion such as Congo throughout the whole work! The tension is raised at once with the funkiness of the Congo wild beat from the very beginning of M1 "Gachero", while M3 "Music In My Head" is a soul number with mellow vocals that permeates the soul, M5 "Chance The World" is a groovy organ funk, and M6 "Across The Ocean" is a killer funk tune. This masterpiece, which is also a first-class album, is finally available on CD for the first time in the world!
