Great band, Pleasure, and this is one of their best. The title track is a bona fide club classic.

Stone-classic Latin fusion album, produced by Larry Mizell. The boom track in the day was Rio — a galloping jazz samba — but there is plenty of pure Mizells brilliance, and Paul Jackson and Bill Summers layer in the Headhunters. Don’t miss the Afro-Cuban drum chant, to close.

The Richard Evans jazz funk terror.

Cleveland funk from 1971, featuring a popping version of Express Yourself, a do-over of The Temps’ Message From A Black Man, and — crucially — the b-boy jazz anthem, Burning Spear.

His third LP, following up Pieces Of A Man in 1972. One side of collaborations with Brian Jackson; the other, spoken word.
Adding alternate versions, the CD runs through the entire tracklisting twice.
The more expensive LP is newly remastered — all-analogue style, from the master tapes.

This compilation of the best of Gil Scott-Heron’s Flying Dutchman output was originally released in 1974, pulling together tracks from his first three albums: Small Talk At 125th And Lennox (1970), Pieces Of A Man (1971), and Free Will (1972).
This very welcome LP reissue is a top-notch pressing, resplendent in the original gatefold sleeve.

The best of the Flying Dutchmans.
