Network – A Hidden Gem of 80s Soul & Funk
Network is one of those rare acts that emerged briefly in the vibrant 1980s funk and soul scene and left a lasting impression. With their signature track I Need You, Network captured the essence of smooth grooves, soulful melodies, and tight funk arrangements that defined the golden age of modern soul.

Originally released on vinyl in the early 80s, the I Need You album became a true collector’s gem pressed in limited numbers and cherished by crate diggers and funk enthusiasts around the world. The band’s clean production style and emotionally driven vocals made them stand out, even with just a handful of tracks to their name.

Though Network never became a household name, their legacy lives on through this rare and timeless release now lovingly remastered and reissued on CD by Vinyl Masterpiece. Their music remains a testament to the depth and quality of underground 80s soul and funk.
