The Funk Edition
In the latest episode of What’s In My Collection, Greg opens up the funkier side of his personal music collection and shares recordings that are all about feel, groove, and musical enjoyment.
This episode is not about chasing specs or analyzing sound for the sake of it. It is about music that pulls you in, fills the room, and makes listening an experience. Funk, soul, reggae, and groove driven recordings have a special ability to come alive on a good system, delivering deep bass, expressive percussion, and a sense of space that keeps your foot tapping and your attention locked in.
Greg highlights music he often reaches for when he wants something that sounds great but also brings energy and fun into the room. These are albums you can put on and let play, records that reward both casual listening and focused sessions. Along the way, he touches on different formats, including vinyl, reel to reel tape, and high quality digital releases, explaining why certain versions stand out for their warmth, realism, and musicality.
For collectors and music lovers alike, this episode also offers reassurance that sometimes the records worth seeking out are the ones that simply make you enjoy listening more. Whether you are discovering funk for the first time or revisiting it through a better system, these selections show how powerful great recordings can be when everything clicks.
