Classic Miami soul, originally on Blue Candle, from this Jazzman imprint.
The great boneman’s 1974 masterwork, with highlights like the ten-minute work-out I’m Payin’ Taxes, What Am I Buyin’, the party-hearty If You Don’t Get It The First Time, the grooving, fist-in-the-air Same Beat (with that sample of Jesse Jackson), and the stunning out-funk of Blow Your Head.
With a 22” x 22” poster featuring the original cover art, as well as a 7-inch flexidisc of the rare Unrubbed Version (without Moog) of Blow Your Head, only available previously on the compilation James Brown’s Funky People Part 3.
Coloured vinyl.
Half songs, half jams, raw Westbound, all out here for the first time.
Moodymann, Underground Resistance, Marcellus Pittman, Shake Shakir, Claude Young…
Kicking off with his magnificent 1963 hit Cry Baby — both sides of all fourteen sevens. Superb sixties soul music, shaded out of doo wop, brimming with gospel.
