Reviews
This is a quality re-release (well done, Dub Store Records)! The musicians are in perfect form. Even though the trumpet-driven title track (instrumental) is a lazily-conceived cover of the Gaylads vocal version (a favorite of mine), there are so many scorchers on this classic record that I won't complain. Whether it's the funky percussion of Hip Hug Her, the dreamy organ on Sad Song, or the soulful sax stylings of Mr. Alphonso on Say You, you won't be disappointed.- 'Say You' is one beast of a track - clear standout even if the whole LP is absolutely lovely.
