THE FUNKY & GROOVY MUSIC RECORDS LEXICON
Most extensive Reference-Guide of Funky & Groovy Music Records
Since 1st edition in 1988 it's still the worldwide unique reference-guide in it's field.
Information is an important (if not the most important) key ressource for a successfull colleting, especially if you have a limited budget. Digging through the crates you should know how your most wanted records look like, to not oversee them. You should know the details about label-number and more, not to buy bootlegs or reprints by accident for the price of an original. You should know whether it is a very rare/valuable record or not, if you intend to buy a record, you've probably never heard from, at an appropriate price.

Liner Notes (2005)"Over 20 years in the making, the Funky & Groovy Music Records Lexicon is an essential reference guide to all people interested in funk in all its various forms. With every printed character and every label scan and picture created from pure, original research, nobody on the planet has worked longer or harder to document the 1000s of rare and obscure records that have been overlooked by the mainstream (and underground) music press for so long. This book is an incredible achievement."
Gerald "Jazzman" Short Funk45 Records
"The lexicon is an indispensable guide to the world of rare funk."
Adrian Gibson Jazz-Café London
"Discographies are always helpful. At a certain point, discography becomes justification for serious collecting. As the 60s approached the world of music, more and more records were made by independents, making the task of the discographer inseparable from the pursuit of the colector. Information is nothing if not scant for collectors of late 60s and 70s Black Funk music, and the Lexicon is a needed resource for both the collector and the discographer. This is only the beginning in an attempt to solidify Funk music as an American music form in line with the Jazz, Blues and Gospel musics occuring before it."
Dante Carfagna
"Truly one of it's kind - the Funky & Groovy Music Records Lexicon is THE source for information about funk 45's and LP's from the common to the super rare. It's been a 'bible' for funk lovers for years and stands alone as an example that won't be beaten. Indispensable."
Jason "Witchsbrew" Stirland

THE PRINT COLOR EDITIONS 2022
Since 2005 I've continued to improve the lexicon. All chapters have been revised, updated and supplemented. The content has almost doubled, listed records as well as pictures. Separate editions have been produced for collectors interested only in singles or only in albums, with the general chapters being included in both editions. The complete Funky & Groovy Music Records Lexicon actually consists of both the Album-Edition + the Singles-Edition!
As soon as all the books you have pre-ordered are ready for shipping, you will receive a payment request for the total-amount (books & shipping costs). The order becomes binding upon payment!
