Venturing outside the church-walls in 1973, under the wing of Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield, this is a soul masterpiece, with Cashing In, Wanted Dead Or Alive and the rest.
A must.

A tough, funky, full-throated cross between raw boogie and Modern Soul, out of Jackson, Mississippi.
Ticking high hats school of Earl Young; bonkers bass.
Originally released by Joe Shamwell on his Shakin’ label, this was the Chymes’ first release, just prior to their deal with RCA.

Total class, both sides. Urgent, interplanetary jazz-funk; and mid-tempo murder on the flip, magnificently fronted by Terri Wells.
