Boogie Butt Records presents its new reissue. Originally Released in 1983 on Becket Records, Time To Throw Down, is a party banger, between P.Funk & Boogie, created by the one & only Paul Thomas, founder of the “Magic Crew”, The Circle City Band. Bandleader Paul Thomas had produced three 12″ single’s released under the title Circle City Band in 1983-84, one of those records titled Magic became extremely popular in the mid1980’s, but this record was supposed to be the 4th 12inch single on Becket Records.

At the same time in 1983, when Reggie Griffin and Paul Thomas was mixing this instrumental track in L.A, the reverend “Rickie Clark” originally from “Circle City” in Indianapolis, came to see them hearing what there was doing, and fall in love with this track, asking if he could used it for himself .

The “Circle City Band” (CCB) is made up of eight remarkably talented souls. The band is lead and managed by founder, producer/musician/singer/songwriter Paul Thomas otherwise known as “P” aka the “Funky Skunk” and also features long time friends and mentors, including the legendary award-winning, multi-musician/songwriter/producer Reggie “Mr. Everything” Griffin of Tech-No-Funk fame.
