These companies would release as many as 100 albums over the course of a few years, and the entire batch would be listed as unsold. Actually the ones they pressed (they'd claim to press something like 10,000, when in actuality they'd only press a few hundred) were never really even attempted to be sold, ending up in cut-out bins and cut-out warehouses. The records contained material from their vaults such as demos, unreleased scrapped projects, tapes they acquired from other record labels, etc. The band and artist names were totally made up with minimal album art, fake titles, fake artists, fake credits. This practice only happened for a couple of years as the government got hip and the loophole was closed. Meanwhile, over the years some of these \"fake\" albums gained an audience, and because of their scarcity, have become quite collectable. Presented here is \"Tax Scam Funk \u0026amp; Boogie,\" a collection of some of the funkier things that appeared on these labels - after all, it was the mid 1970's at the height of the funk and boogie movement. All selections have been newly remastered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunk Me Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide and Seek (Part I)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Potion #7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooty Bump (California Style)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper Fine from Behind Lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Got the Rest of Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunk Walk (The Monkey Walk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Baby's Coming Back 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fool Ain't Cool 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance for Me 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack in My Life 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide and Seek (Part II) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing Free (Disco Version) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMo' Booty Bump (California Style) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Potion #7 (Instrumental) 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperfine from Behind Lady (Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986317136093,"sku":"894232634726","price":104.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3426176.jpg?v=1762930798","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/tax-scam-funk-boogie-var-mod-tax-scam-funk-boogie","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
