<p>This EXTREMELY rare joint I stumbled across is a prime example of why I enjoy crate-digging so much. What struck me even more than the music is the fact that I can&#8217;t find any information about it, or who recorded it. Literally nothing except that it indeed exists. Usually in searching around, especially in the blogsphere you&#8217;re able to find some session musicians, or maybe even a story about how it was recorded. However, what I&#8217;ve now come to believe is that sometimes it&#8217;s cool to not know too much about an LP. It gives you the ability to almost make up a back story in your mind.</p>
<p>This record goes from the most purist soul, to smooth funk grooves, to a dance floor theme, and even a seamless transition to a couple disco tracks (It was recorded in &#8217;77 after all).</p>
<p>What I like the most about this joint is that it fits many moods. &#8220;What The People Say About Love&#8221; starts of the LP right on an upbeat note. &#8220;As Much Out Of It&#8221; has a soul quality which could&#8217;ve easily been recorded ten years earlier, but fits completly in context with the rest of the album. My personal favorite tracks are &#8220;Just Another Woman&#8221;, with it&#8217;s slick organ/clav groove, &amp; &#8220;It Takes A Little Time&#8221;</p>
