After the limited edition CD Mark I (eco-packing, 8 page booklet) in the official colour scheme has sold out I decided to create a teal edition with the designer Neil J Hart based on the original design/drawings by Angus MacKinnon.

Limited Edition CD in recycled eco digipack with 8 page booklet | Mark I
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Passionate about the packing of my music I designed this packaging with the awesome illustrations of Angus MacKinnon and the photograph or Rob Blackham.
A environmentally-friendly CD package including a full colour booklet printed on recycled paper of 8 pages behind the inside left panel of the digipak.
The discs trays are not made from clear plastic like most digipaks, but are made from recycled egg boxes and have a central cork stud to mount the disc on. The four page printed outer is also made from 100% recycled card stock with a slightly rougher texture than the standard digipaks.

When Redtenbacher’s Funkestra gigs were still possible ‘Cool Beans’ was always an audience favourite. This stomping wall-to-wall funk piece with a larger-than-life bass line certainly justifies to be on the ‘Big FUNK Band’ album. The rhythm section is extended by a big band horn section and a live string section. The featured soloists are guitar wizard Mike Outram and Paul Jordanous on trumpet.

Austrian-bred bassist and funk fiend Stefan Redtenbacher is an anomaly, anachronism and a defiant demolisher of the pigeon-
hole. Currently based in London, Stefan and his band Redtenbacher’s Funkestra deliver “out-and-out spectacular funk” (Snowboy) or, as UK Bass Guitar Magazine put it, “a near perfect slice of jazz-funk from one of Europe’s great players.”...more
A brilliant album! Inspired by Hank Mobley and brilliant performances by all. Great to see Larry Goldings mingle with a new set of master musicians! Can't wait to have them do a MLP Sess in London! Redtenbacher's Funkestra
Excellent new album by ueber-guitar FONK man Cory Wong. So pleased to see my friend and amazing horn arranger and trombonist Michael B Nelson and his new section on this recording! Minneapolis funk! Redtenbacher's Funkestra
What a great combo! Scary Pockets, fearlessly led by Jack Conte with his trusted musicians and the great Larry Goldings and Robben Ford, musical heroes of my teenage days. Just brilliant! Redtenbacher's Funkestra
supported by 7 fans who also own “Cool Beans (ft. Mike Outram, Paul Jordanous)”
All the tracks are good, although I particularly like the track Gravy Train, Nigel Price is a great guitarist, it is a great recording as well, it is well worth watching the accompanying videos. Great vibe! Highly recommended. philps
