      Funky groovy fusion coming at you here by some technical gurus(yes, Terry Bozz on drums). A very enjoyable listen, especially "Some Skunk Funk", performed live, no less.
      The electric sax blurs the line between the synth and guitar at times, but Mikey B's lines are unmistakable.

      A high water mark from the Breckers.

      Pressing is decent, no complaints.

        A fine collection of jazz funk, plus a fun straightahead funk track at the top with “East River.”
