Tip! Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue, in collaboration with Corbett vs. Dempsey, one of the great albums out of the B.A.G. galaxy recorded by Luther Thomas and a cohort of musicians including Joe Bowie, Charles Bobo Shaw, Floyd LeFlore and Lester Bowie. Recorded live in 1973 at The Berea Presbyteryan Church in St. Louis, the album consists of two tracks, the formidable, aptly titled "Funky Donkey" and the spiritual "Una New York." Released as a private press on Thomas' own Creative Consciousness Records, it's reissued here for the first time since the 70s, marking the recording's 50th anniversary with original artwork, remastered audio and new liner notes by Howard Mandel.
