Album Stones Throw STH2058

Description: The first and only anthology of Stark Reality, whose rare but legendary 1970 album Stark Reality Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop reworked children's music written by Hoagy Carmichael into jazz/funk/psych mini-epics. Music Shop became a favorite sample source for hip-hop producers in the 1990s and 2000s, from Large Professor to Will.i.am.

The bulk of Music Shop is contained on this anthology, along with Stark Reality's theme song for the late 1960s show Say Brother, and previously unreleased tracks from 1969 which have also been reissued in their entirety on vinyl as 1969, on Now-Again

All music produced by Monty Stark.
Now is compiled and annotated by Egon.
