DESCRIPTION:  This is a test pressing of the first LP by the Staten Island Afrobeat Funk crew, The Budos Band. I received this when I was a DJ hosting a Funk & Soul radio show on the local community radio station back in 2005. Neal Sugarman (Sugarman co-founded Desco and Daptone Records and plays in the Sugarman 3 and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings) autographed this with an inscription. The label features a sticker with Daptone Records street address (115 Troutman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206), but no track listings. Side one features five tracks, Side two features six; just like the official release. Record has not been played by me in the ten years I’ve had it in my possession. This is Super RARE, with only a few copies existing. Here’s your chance to own a piece of Funk and Daptone history, something that very few funk collectors on the globe have in their collections; do not miss it.
