Tracking Angle Interviews Tape Archivist Catherine Vericolli About Restoring Funkadelic
ORG Music has just begun reissuing releases from Funkadelic‘s classic run on Westbound Records, a series that follows previous reissues of Westbound projects by the likes of The Ohio Players, Denise LaSalle, Eramus Hall, Dennis Coffey, Assemblage, and The Counts. The records sound immaculate, in large part due to the work of tape archivist Catherine Vericolli. In a recent interview with Tracking Angle, she “describes the good, the bad, and sometimes ugly world of restoration and how she and mastering engineer Dave Gardner forged a strong bond and friendship during their time working – in the field – digging through the Westbound catalog and bringing key parts of it back to life.” The fascinating read is right here.
Funkadelic’s self-titled debut sounds crisper than ever and is at radio now!
