Essential Blaxploitation

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Early version with 3 tracks from Funkadelic (1-10, 2-3, 3-16) that are not listed on metal box and sleeves (hidden tracks). However, back of the box says "60 bad, bad tunes from..." instead of 57.

Later versions of this release omit those Funkadelic tracks, matching the packaging.
