A few years removed from their 1970 Damon Studios session in Kansas City, Bump & The Soul Stompers, led by Jerald Bump Scott, responded to their eras off-kilter naming conventions to become Unnatural Funk Band. After failing to find a label home for I Can Remember, they made the descent into neighboring Independence, Missouris fabled subterranean Cavern Studios, erected inside the mouth of an actual limestone fissure. Living in the Past is a nostalgic drift through wistful falsetto and low-riding narration, while Strange Happenings is truly exceptional: an unnaturally good funk workout from a virtually undocumented Kansas City soul act. This previously unreleased pairing was unearthed, with assistance from Bump Scott himself, during the Numero Groups KC-focused research for 2013s Eccentric Soul: The Forte Label collection.
