Orange vinyl.
His last two albums for Ko Ko, from 1976 and ‘77, a kind of curtains for vintage Muscle Shoals soul.
‘A deeply expressive, stylistically expansive performance. The set opens with a meditative improvisation on pipe organ, followed by the sweeping three- part suite Love is Here, the driving pulse of Pharoah’s ‘Blues, and a transcendent reading of I Want to Talk About You. Coltrane’s influence is honoured through high-octane renditions of Moment’s Notice and Lazy Bird, before reaching an ecstatic, participatory climax with Love Is Everywhere, shared joyfully with the audience.’
Twenty-page booklet.
Characteristically melancholic, wise, masterful singing.
With a bumptious, flirtatious Valentines.
Her legendary, heart-wrenching recording for Capitol in 1969; now remastered all-analogue-style from the masters; with a decent booklet.
Heavy Lloydie Coxsone production (with Sly, Horsemouth, Malawi, Bagga, Chinna, McCook and the rest), featuring Shaka favourites like Homeward Bound and Voice Of The Poor. Tougher than the classic Black Star Liner album.
