Today was a Day for "Rare Funk Liberation, Vol. I" by Various Artists

The 1999 release Rare Funk Liberation, Vol. I by the UK label Goldmine/Soul Supply contains two things in spades that make it a fantastic listen:  1) 18 tracks of rare, deep, hard funk from a bygone era (late 1960s & early 1970s).  2) A relatively large percentage of female vocalists.  While the CD is out of print, you can find downloads of it various places online.
