Clear vinyl.
Unmissable LP from 1973; round about the same time as Coffy.
Murderously pimped versions of Ain’t No Sunshine and Papa Was A Rolling Stone open and close. There is a slinky, bubbling go at Aretha’s gorgeous Day Dreaming, and the classy, tricky jazz-funk of Cocoa Butter. Not to mention the Pan-African title track: stone-cold-killer, energising, utterly essential Roy Ayers funk.
Expertly ecstatic disco-house treatments of Marvin’s Come Live With Me Angel and You Oughta Be Dancin’, by People’s Choice. Prime Leon Ware, prime Tom Moulton, brilliantly filleted and lovingly arranged on the plate.
In short supply. Don’t miss this.
The full 12:45 John Morales mix.
Terrific, propulsive, widescreen version of the Jon Lucien classic, flavoured with Curtis, featuring brilliant percussion by Montego Joe, alongside Ron Carter, Richard Tee, Ron Carter… Plus a Moondance excursion, on the flip.
One for the HJ pensioners massive.
