In 1971, at the height of the Vietnam War, on a US military base in West Germany, a US Army funk band called East of Underground wins a contest and records an LP. Thirty-seven years later, the record has become a holy grail for deep-funk collectors. Its reissue comes to the attention of the band's guitarist, who didn't know an LP was ever released. His recollection of events is a time capsule of funk in a time of war.
