Superbad from start to finish, this survey of the Cincinnati label in the after-shock of Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag. Almighty James Brown productions (or knock-offs) like Honky Tonk Popcorn, Unwind Yourself and Fever. That Coasters to close… bim.

Crucial, ecstatic, magnificent disco, rinsed nowadays by the likes of Theo Parrish and DJ Harvey. Producer and writer Jerry Peter’s crowning ten minutes — notwithstanding credits with everyone from Foster Sylvers and Gene Harris to Aretha and Marvin.
Plus the mighty Bourgie Bourgie on the flip.

With their unmissable, blistering nine-minute version of the Cat Stevens, a masterpiece of cosmic, jazzy soul.

Marva Hicks, Sylvia Striplin and co, with Roy Ayers at the mixing desk, presenting jazzy, sassy, sexy, all-time boogie landmarks like Turned On To You. Fabulous.

‘Rare groove Windy City disco at its finest.’
