"On The Sly", with its relentlessly catchy brass hook, was taken from the band's fourth album '4'. "The Bamboos Theme" is the opening track on 'Rawville', an up-tempo instrumental track that has "a little bit of KPM/Alan Hawkshaw DNA". "Kylie's first live performance with The Bamboos was at the celebrated Meredith Music Festival in Victoria" explains Lance, "we did the 4am set and people still talk to me about it to this day".

Described as "arguably the best funk album of the modern era" by IDJ Magazine, "I Don't Wanna Stop" is also the debut appearance of featured lead-vocalist Kylie Auldist on a Bamboos wax - that would later lead to her joining the band full time. Included on the stellar compilation is "I Don't Wanna Stop" featuring Kylie Auldist, a standout hit taken from the band's second album 'Rawville'. Compiled on The Bamboos - "Twenty Years 2000-2020" are four songs that encapsulate this growth - a fitting companion to The Bamboos 20th anniversary, and a celebration of one of the most beloved, cherished and respected soul/funk bands of the 21st century. Over five albums for the imprint - such as 'Step It Up' (2006), 'Rawville' (2007), 'Side-Stepper' (2008), '4' (2010), and 'Medicine Man' (2012) - the powerhouse refined and evolved their sound with a progressive approach, evolving from the "retro" label while still retaining the warmth, rawness and soul of their roots. The Bamboos were signed to the esteemed UK label Tru Thoughts for seven years between 2005 - 2012. The Bamboos have collaborated with the likes of Aloe Blacc, Lyrics Born, Alice Russell, Ty, Daniel Merriweather, J-Live, Urthboy, Teesy, Dan Sultan, Tim Rogers. Led by guitarist and main songwriter/producer Lance Ferguson, The Bamboos have recorded nine studio albums, two live albums, twenty-seven singles, and performed countless incendiary shows all while aiming forward with a genre-defying take on the music, shaking up what it means to be a soul band in 2020. Tru Thoughts marks this milestone with a collectors' gatefold double dinked 7" for Record Store Day, a compilation featuring some of the bands greatest moments on the label, four tracks that never had an original issue on the 7" format.
