Raw and deep music tracks lush with personal and colorful production. Prices are dumb though, it bothers me that some dude payed almost a buck twenty for this record (sealed, maybe) so then everyones gotta fucking suffer for that. The way the availability is, people need to start selling this for $30. Regardless this is a party starter, another slice of the late Romanthony's genius. He ought to have a "Greatest Of" release for him on LP form just for commercial enjoyment. BI is a sort of reggae/house track that really takes the cake for me. Some people may lament the sound quality but I wouldn't have it any other way. Love this record, should not be as expensive. That's my take

This is a fantastic, yet very hard to find record containing 4 untitled garage, gospel and tribal tracks. I am pretty sure this is a Romanthony record. His voice appears all over the untitled tracks. This was just a small sample of the genius that would later be revealed in his later work. One thing though; as with most early Romanthony records, the sound quality is lacking. Something went wrong in either the mastering or the pressing process.
