Scepter/Wand and Musicor/Dynamo were the happening independent labels in New York City in the late 60s, pulling recordings from all over the USA into their Big Apple melting pot. Dynamic Grooves captures 21 of the finest moments.
The compilation includes many tracks that have never been reissued before, such as rarities from Billy Clark & the Maskmen with the funk monster Soul Party, the Endeavors with their Northern/funk crossover I Know You Don't Want Me and Joe Arnold's Memphis groove Soul Trippin'.
Wand's relationship with producer Allan Toussaint provides four big slices of New Orleans funk, including the all-time classic Funky Belly by Warren Lee and Toussaint's own take on Workin' In A Coalmine. Earl King's rare Tic Tac Toe features the Meters as his backing band, while Johnny Moore's A Dollar Ninety Eight is taken from master tapes for the first time ever. Classics include the amazing Speed Up by Betty Moorer, two cuts from the Backyard Heavies and the Memphis grind of Chuck Jackson's Candy.
