Album Review
Since "Pure Disco" was a success, Mercury decided to assemble a sequel, "Pure Funk". Like its predecessor, "Pure Funk" is a terrific 20-track collection of funk classics, from Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" to Parliament's "Flashlight." A couple of songs are marginally funk -- it's hard to call the kitsch-fest "Kung Fu Fighting" or Earth, Wind & Fire's sultry ballad "Shining Star" funk -- but that doesn't mean that "Pure Funk" isn't a terrificly enjoyable collection. With songs like "Brick House," "Pick Up the Pieces," "Good Times," "Jungle Boogie," "Fire," "Tell Me Something Good," "Lady Marmalade," "Superfly," "Mr. Big Stuff" and "Word Up," "Pure Funk" delivers nothing but funky good times, and it's damn near irresistible. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
