I remember this stuff at Pier Platters in Hoboken, NJ in 1990-1992. Searching for rare breaks and beats was pretty well known in the late 1980s and collecting weird LPs and singles was a definite early 90s thing. Then combine it with the massive UK collector base of the weird pop they call "Northern Soul" and you have something that would be odd to call undeground from my way of thinking. the funk 45 thing was underground in the states in 1998???
