Brick - The Best Of Brick (1995)

This 1995 Epic release is easily the best introduction to the Atlanta-based group's unique fusion of funk, disco, and improvisational soul. With only one pronounced omission -- their later 1981 hit "Sweat (Until You Get Wet)" -- The Best of Brick covers all the major points of the group's short but influential seven-year recording career -- with a decided focus on their first two records. This is a fresh look at a group whose influence has remained steady over the past two decades.
