Recommendations
Reviews
My pressing is kinda quiet. Apart from this: great music.
JB's organ playing on the A-side is... uninspired to say the least. The rest of the band is top notch, though. Check out the B-side where JB just lets them do their thing.
Killer break-beat album. Right up there with the Meters for funk grooves.
