Following a 10-year tenure with their record labels, funk band the Brand New Heavies released two greatest hits albums titled Trunk Funk, a wordplay on the band's long standing elephant logo.
[3] Trunk Funk – The Best of The Brand New Heavies was released 13 September 1999 in the UK on FFRR Records.
It highlights the group's dance and pop oriented UK hits, with many appearing in remixed, edited, or radio-friendly formats.
Three new recordings appear here, "Try My Love," the Marvin Gaye redux "Saturday Nite," and a cover of "Apparently Nothing," originally done by Anderson's former band Young Disciples.
Where the UK Trunk Funk release highlighted dance and pop-oriented Heavies singles, this release focuses on 70's soul influenced cuts like "Brother Sister," the J. Dilla remix of "Sometimes" featuring rapper Q-Tip, and "Put the Funk Back in It."
