The horns get centre stage.

I'm assuming this is another instrumental.

It would'f'f been incredible to see any of these '70s funk bands live.

You would'f been cavorting all over the shop!

Yes, YOU! stare

It's interminable.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jun 21, 2020 7:37 pm

It is over.

I found that a very uninvolving listen. The playing was competent but uninspired, with the drums being especially lifeless, and the songs themselves were poor.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 2 stars.

Anyway, a marvy album.

Quite rough around the edges compared to some of their later albums, but still groovy as funk!

Really fun.

Lots of personality, soul and humour.

A very loveable band and an album that, despite it's possible shortcomings (not faults, DEFINITELY NOT FAULTS!) is as gently, forcefully funky and eccentrically soulful as any album of its genre.

It is of course an album that I hold dear personally and thus...
