About us...
BMC SAGA : This site was born in august 1997, during the summer, a period during which i discover a new passion for websites, and in particular, in their conception. So a new idea immediatly came to me : why do not marry this new passion with my long love for black music ?. A quick conclusion Apart this, i also rapidly conclude that as many huge collectors, i missed a real, certified web source of my musical passion, concerning all releases from U.S and U.K majors or indies labels. I was in particular, looking for some information about the earliest 12" singles. A few people, tried this way, but it didn't concerned what i was searching for ; some of you will perhaps remember George Spruce's earliest work in 1996. This Finland site only concerned HOUSE, GARAGE releases. Thanks for him for this inspiration. Name of the site, comes from my want to help everyone, new freshly debarked collector, or affirmed one, to build its own black musical collection, a collection that you could be proud. So, with this site, i have decided to build database of labels, U.S, UK, Canadian, etc, turned onto Soul, DISCO, R&B, rap, Go-Go, .... Site's name has changed and is now "THE FUNKLOEPDIK PROJECT" as
it is explainned here... Another particular project : Around 1997/1998, we have been further thru the world to be interested about the subject of "What was the very first 12" single released" ?. This is thanks to AL BOTTCHER (of BEACHBUM COLLECTABLES, Los Angeles), whom we've exchanged a lot of e-mails, that month after month, informations have been (re) discovered, crossed, verified, and that databases could have been build. Now, photos, certified the existence of those earliest 12"s singles. Since others subject have been exploded; such as the FRENCH influence in DISCO Music.
