03. Roll Me Through The Rushes (Album Version) 4:43

10. I Was Made To Love Him (Album Version) 3:23


Still very much an integral part of Rufus, Chaka Khan set the charts on fire with her debut solo release. The first single was the R&B chart-topper "I'm Every Woman," an Ashford & Simpson track with Khan lighting up the lyric with her tantalizing vocals. "Life Is a Dance," the second release, doesn't quite compare to its predecessor, but it still made the R&B Top 40. The sentimental ballad "Roll Me Through the Rushes" is poetically engaging, and despite never being released as a single, it became a mainstay of radio. Although Khan had much credibility from her association with Rufus, this album demonstrated that the dynamic vocalist could hold her own ground alone.

Review by Ron Wynn
Loose Ends was still in peak form on the late-'80s Zagora. "Slow Down" was an R&B chart topper and huge club smash, and they had two other songs become moderate hits. Loose Ends had found the right mix of teasing vocals, clever lyrical hooks, tight production, and good arrangements that weren't relentless in their backbeats, yet were also groove-oriented enough for dancers.

8. But I Was Cool (3:28)
9. Let's Get Drunk (And Be Somebody) (3:55)
10. Bull 'Bleep' (2:58)



Oscar Brown moves into a funky 70s mode -- working here with some great soul-based arrangements by Chicago soul legend Richard Evans! There's lots of funky clavinet grooving on the record by Tennyson Stephens and Marvin Yancy -- and other players include Chess/Cadet session groovers, like Henry Gibson, Phil Upchurch, and Art Hoyle. The record was recorded in Chicago and produced by Jerry Butler -- and it's clearly one of his efforts from the days when Jerry was dipping into the hip Chicago underground of the early 70s. Oscar reprises a number of classics -- like "Hazel's Hips" and "But I Was Cool" -- and the album includes some newer tunes like "Rilly?", "Ghetto Scene", and "Bull 'Bleep'", all a bit more righteous than before.

Review

In 1973, Rufus had yet to start going by the name Rufus & Chaka Khan. The band was still obscure, and the single that made Khan a superstar (1974's "Tell Me Something Good") was still a year away. Khan was handling most of the lead vocals, although keyboardist Ron Stockert was still doing a fair amount of lead singing. It was in 1973 that ABC released Rufus' self-titled debut album, which wasn't the big seller that 1974's Rags to Rufus, 1975's Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan, and 1977's Ask Rufus would be. From a commercial standpoint, the problem with this LP was its lack of a really strong single — there wasn't a "Once You Get Started," a "Sweet Thing," or a "Tell Me Something Good" to drive radio programmers wild. But from a creative standpoint, this is a decent and promising, if imperfect, debut. In 1973, Rufus' original pre-Tony Maiden, pre-Bobby Watson lineup favored an earthy soul/rock blend along the lines of Ike & Tina Turner; in fact, Khan's passionate vocals on "Feel Good," Stevie Wonder's "Maybe Your Baby," and Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With" point to the fact that Tina Turner was among her early influences. Not that Khan is actually emulating Turner, Aretha Franklin, or anyone else; in 1973, Khan was quite distinctive herself. As time passed, Rufus & Chaka Khan became sleeker and less rock-minded — if your introduction to them was "Once You Get Started" or "Sweet Thing," you might be surprised to hear how rock-minded this LP is. Rufus falls short of essential and isn't recommended to those with only a casual interest in Khan's years with the band, but it's an enjoyable debut that certainly isn't without historic value.

All Music Guide, Alex Henderson



Biography by Steve Huey

One of the most commercially successful funk groups of the '70s, the multi-racial Rufus are today best remembered for launching the career of soul diva Chaka Khan, whose fiery lead vocals were easily the band's focal point. Powered by Khan — who was eventually billed in addition to the group — and an unerring sense of groove, Rufus scored an impressive string of hit singles on both the pop and R&B charts, which lasted through the '70s and up to Khan's official departure in 1983.

Review

He's Coming captures Roy Ayers at the absolute top of his game, masterminding jazz-funk grooves as taut as a tightrope. Profoundly inspired by the Broadway musical Jesus Christ Superstar (and including a reading of the soundtrack's "I Don't Know How to Love Him"), the album is a deeply felt exploration of Ayers' spiritual and social beliefs, celebrating the life and rebirth of Jesus with "He's a Superstar" and its follow-up title cut before delivering the equally impassioned political manifesto "Ain't Got Time to Be Tired," a wake-up call for slumbering revolutionaries. Aided by an exemplary backing unit featuring saxophonist Sonny Fortune, bassist John Williams, keyboardist Harry Whitaker, and drummer Billy Cobham, Ayers channels the intensity of his message into his music, creating the most vibrant and textured music of his career to date. The atmospheric "We Live in Brooklyn, Baby" is an absolute masterpiece, a haunting hybrid of jazz, funk, and soul that exemplifies the Ayers aesthetic at its most far-reaching and inventive.

The biggest part of my records are country-rock-aor stuff,
but since this is a mostly black music oriented thread, i avoid to post...
the Hotel California posted by MaccaM gave me the push for this CSN that i consider a masterpiece of music over the styles...
i'm listening to it since 1977 and never get tired of it :553:

I subscribe to Run's theory of if you have it, post it. Someone will probably want it. I'm not a big C.S.N. fan, but I'm sure someone would be appreciative. I plan on dropping some Pink Floyd when I can find the disc somewhere in this house.

9. Yes Indeed!



Review by Alex Henderson & William Ruhlmann
The last of Teena Marie's four albums for Motown, It Must Be Magic found the songstress continuing to do all of her own writing, producing, and arranging, with magnificent results. Irons in the Fire proved that she didn't need the input of a big-name producer in order to deliver first-class albums, and Marie provided additional evidence of that fact on an album that offered such gems as the playful "Square Biz" (one of her biggest hits, and an early example of an R&B artist incorporating rap), the thought-provoking "Revolution" (inspired by the assassination of John Lennon and filled with references to the Beatles), and the gritty title song. Marie has periodically shown a strong love of jazz, which is exactly what happens on the ballad "Yes Indeed" and the sexy "Portuguese Love." It Must Be Magic was Marie's highest-charting album in the pop market, and thanks to a largely black following, the gold-seller just missed topping the R&B charts.

Review from www.dustygroove.com

A rare funky soul classic! This one was originally issued on Brunswick in 1974, and it's darn impossible to find in the original, probably because Brunswick was having a great deal of financial trouble at the time. Whatever the case, the record's a great one -- and it's got a tight ensemble funky sound, mixed with some great soulful vocals, and a strong indie soul groove. The band originally came from North Carolina, and they've got a style that's similar to some of the other south coast funk groups that were operating in the 70s in cities like Washington, Richmond, and other points south. Most tracks have deep soulful vocals, but there's some very nice instrumentals too, and the band's got a pretty tight approach to playing.

Thanks for this brilliant drop Leolo Del Sol!
I just don't seem to be able to extract the files,
I've DL:ed them twice now and I get an error message when trying to extract.

Has anybody else had problems with these files?



I was able to open the archive & extract everything except track 2. There must be something wrong with it.

Edit: I was able to get track 2 after all. (There's nothing you can't do with Linux). But the file is corrupt. It stops playing half way through.

Maysa - A Woman In Love

Maysa takes on a host of classic tunes -- yet turns them all into something completely brand new, thanks to the soul-styled vocal charms we've always loved in her music! A fair bit of the tunes are standards, but they're recast here in contemporary soul territory, with a bit of an Incognito twist at times too -- the groove that Maysa first forged with Bluey, worked out here nicely with Chris Big Dog Davis and John Jones. Will Downing guests on a version of "Love Theory", and other cuts include "I Put A Spell On You", "A Woman In Love", "The Lady In My Life", "Round Midnight", "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life", "Spend Some Time", and "Am I Wrong". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

Bootsy Collins - Fresh Outta 'P' University 2CD´S, Flac, 1997
A very rare Item.
Originally the Cd was recorded in Hamburg /Germany.
The so called P-Funk Headquarter :rofl3:
Bootsy was after the release of this Cd in Germany into the top 3 with Iam leavin you (Gotta Go, Gotta Go ). The record company was very surprized about this unawaited succsess. So they released for a short time this version with the famous mousse t remixes.

As you can see, his log does not even mention what rip mode he is using. I think every log would have that much. To be honest, I do not trust this rip to be 100% correct. I am sure the uploader means well and only wants to share, but to omit such a big piece of information from the log makes me wonder what else he might've forgotten to do

[rtownsend213]

Thanks for clearing that up RUN because due to my inexperience with logs I wasn't sure but I have a number of logs like this which are missing key data. Is it possible for extraction software to create such a log or is this a case where the log file has been edited?

[RunawayTrane]

Not an expert on such things. But I doubt it. What would even be the point of creating a log in the first place if all pertinent information was not included? What could be happening here is that maybe the options to do certain things were unchecked. Thus, there was nothing to read.

We know that when EAC is installed, certain options are checked automatically. Maybe the uploader when into the Options menus and unchecked them manually. We don't know. And my philosophy is that if you have to ask....better off not even dealing with it. Which is why I downloaded that album, but did not post it

Hi Run,
I guess you gamble a little bit with the idea that my Bootsy rip is from avax.
First off all I like the avax. It gives some inspiration, but I have a different tracklisting and I posted the original cover. (a promo release)
Most of the stuff I post is from my own collection. Since years I use the easy Cd-Da extractor which is very popular in Europe. I never had problems with these rips, because I use highend machines with good quality hardware and a lot ram. Usually I delete all the log and cue files and I never post wav files. All this is waste of time and energy . I think green ! ( Flac fits all the needs ) Did you ever thought about the electricity which is needed for the download of wav rip´s. ( CO2 pollution)

Especially for you I ripped cd 2 with the fresh installed Eac.
Some extracts.

[RunawayTrane]

Hi Run,
I guess you gamble a little bit with the idea that my Bootsy rip is from avax.



Yes. I figured it was not a coincidence that something this rare was posted today after seeing it posted on Avax just a few days ago. There would be no shame in reposting it, I do it all the time. Hell, I'm about to post something from avax in a few minutes. Anyway, I stand corrected. Please excuse me.


In the future you can save yourself some time by just using the EAC software you downloaded. EAC, dbPoweramp or XLD is what's preferred at most lossless file sharing sites. CD-DA Extractor is a decent application, but not the greatest in terms of error corrections and doesn't possess the capacity to make a bit for bit copy like the ones mentioned. So on older discs, it might not pick up the skips the way EAC can. I will never discourage anyone from sharing their music collections here. But I do always try to ENcourage anyone who does share to do it as well as they possibly can. That's why there are no MP3s allowed here and also why I include as much information about the music, the rip itself and artwork, as I can. I want everyone to own the ALBUM, not just the music files. Something out of print and that costs 350 dollars would be the FIRST thing I shared in this thread.


As for the effects of downloading on the atmosphere, I think individuals downloading music such as ourselves wouldn't be as culpable as corporations like IBM, Microsoft or ATT. Who have whole legions of computers that they NEVER even turn off. Therefore omitting much higher levels of carbon poisoning than a bunch of cats on home computers can ever imagine. But that's a whole different discussion. My philosophy it that it's never a waste of time to give to friends the BEST you can give. I think you, me and all our friends are worth it



anyway, thanks for going to the trouble. it is certainly appreciated

[jacopass]

Ok, Runaway, very good comment, the idea is always to share in lossless formats, but using software quality and accuracy as the EAC. Too bad with no covers or spend the same, many times, I have found covers that are available on the network and lack of good quality. (sorry for my poor English).
:clap::350:

[zacki]

"Quote: leolo del sol" Did you ever thought about the electricity which is needed for the download of wav rip´s. ( CO2 pollution)

To all members, use a new version of winrar to compress wav files. The results are Excellent.

Labelle - Moon Shadow (1972) - Wav = 407MB
Labelle - Moon Shadow (1972) - Wav + winrar 3.92 = 281MB

Labelle - Moon Shadow (1972) - Flac V8 = 255MB
Labelle - Moon Shadow (1972) - Flac V8 + winrar 3.92 = 254

The difference are 27MB & Flac V8 is for me not the best quality.

PS: Labelle - Moon Shadow coming soon Run.

Artist: Junior Parker
Title: Love Ain't Nothing But A Business Goin' On
Year: 1971
CD release: 1997

Normally I pass albums like this by. Never heard of Junior Parker before. Then I checked out how many Cats hit the button and I did a ghetto stare down...you know, one of those looks you give another Cat you're passing like two ships in the night. The cover reminds me of an album by The Detroit Emeralds around the same time period. Still, I was ready to move on after reading the first few sentences of the review and then the rest of what he said sold me. So Ima give it a try, see what Junior was all about.

Thanks for the post SD

LOS LOBOS
COLOSSAL HEADMY COLOSSAL HEAD STORY

A funny thing – my music experience has always been in line with my video experience. We were lucky to have that VCR at home since the mid 80s, when people were charged with pornography for watching Last Tango In Paris. It was the time when soviet citizens were taking first peeks through the iron curtain at the unknown western civilization. A rare home had a VCR and people used to gather at those VCR homes after midnight to watch movies. People could get bagged and deprived of their property just for watching that Pretty Woman flick. Both dangerous and funny time… But it’s just a background… This VCR experience has been a common way for us to learn about the world behind that iron curtain.

Going back to my Colossal Head story, it took place ten years later, back in 1996, when I got hooked on that Desperado joint and its theme song. From that on I was literally delirious about these guys, who called themselves Los Lobos. Unfortunately there was no other way to listen to their music other than watching that movie. Back then we had a nice Airedale dog who used to have meals at kitchen in a corner where we kept laying some paper to keep the floor clean. One day, while changing that paper, I noticed this green robot with red Lobos letters above his head. It was a Russian newspaper with latest release reviews. Daaaaamn… That music was only 400 miles away from me (Minsk – Moscow). Isssh… No way for a 14 year old kid to travel alone to Moscow for a record. I was lucky though, lucky to have my dad planning to visit that city on a business trip. I had been saving up. I had a nice fund of $20. Which was a lot back then. A LOT! Believe me ;) The CD eventually swallowed $19 outta that 20 I had. The funniest thing in the end was that I did not have any CD player back then :251: Eventually I had to wait for some time more to finally bump it and enjoy it as a best CD I ever had…

:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::respect-067::clap::respect-067::clap::respect-067:

What an amazing story!!! A peek behind the Iron Curtain. What an experience. It just goes to show how what we Americans take for granted can be seen in a new perspective from a pair of fresh eyes. I'm simply blown away.

Thank you causeman. Much much respect

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

Yep, 400 mile distance between Minsk and Moscow... I didn't cover this distance back then ) VCRs didn't become a fixture at our homes until the mid 90's. In the mid 80's we had Russian VCRs called ELECTRONICA designed in response to new western developments. You know, we just could not be inferior to the western civilization in any new step it takes. ;) Those VCRs (http://video1975.narod.ru/vm12.html) were bulky and awkward machines that would not mind jamming you tape once in a while ))) Families having these machines were few and deemed to be lucky and chosen ones back then. The real problem though was that having some access to VCRs we had nothing to watch ) Those tapes were initially smuggled by those who could travel abroad (politicians, high rank guys, etc.), translated and voiced over simultaneously in totally underground conditions and spread around the country. These voiceover/translation guys are still kinda heroes here. Nowadays most people who witnessed the video market development with their own eyes are into single voice over movies, called 'custom translated movies'. OK, people used to gather at those few VCR homes at night to watch some movies. Cops would raid these homes. They would switch the power off in the lobby to have those malicious tapes jammed. And if you were unlucky to have your Nine 1/2 Weeks tape jammed, daamn, you were in trouble, my friend. Censorship.. That's another story.. But you had to be a smart guy and a real genius to have your movie, record or book pass through all those filters and control agencies. However, the artistic value of those movies, records, books, etc. was much higher than it is now if you compare them to their present day counterparts... In this respect, some people miss that time )

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------



You are welcome! I think I'm gonna tell some more record related stories with my future drops ) Hope you'll have a nice time listening to these records.

Just awesome

[MrDap]

The biggest part of my records are country-rock-aor stuff,
but since this is a mostly black music oriented thread, i avoid to post...
the Hotel California posted by MaccaM gave me the push for this CSN that i consider a masterpiece of music over the styles...
i'm listening to it since 1977 and never get tired of it :553:

Man post that shat! Some of us 'good ol boys' need to learn about the rest of the world of music. I'm on What.CD daily and all I see is the new white boy stuff jamming up the torrents. Matter of fact less you grab that isssh your ratio will crawl along. Wish there was a way to start a mostly jazz, R&B, soul, reggae, Brazilian, Latin (well you get my drift) torrent site. I'm so damn jealous of those "dudes" who dominate What with their music. And I mean no offense to our White brothers & sisters on SynCiti but I'm just saying how I feel. When it comes to the African Music Experience and all of its derivatives, I'm am decidedly prejudiced.

Still, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Charlie Daniels, Kansas, America, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Lynard Skynard, Alabama, The Doobie Brothers ("Can you imagine Doobie in your Funk?" GC, Mothership Connection), Chicago, The Beatles (I'd kill to have their entire collection in FLAC!!!), I get off on them too. Guaranteed if it's posted it willget hit by me. And that's a definite.

Normally I pass albums like this by. Never heard of Junior Parker before. Then I checked out how many Cats hit the button and I did a ghetto stare down...you know, one of those looks you give another Cat you're passing like two ships in the night.


:498: @ ghetto stare down. Did you have your "thousand yard stare" on?

I have learned that if you like soul music, especially VINTAGE soul music from the 70's, you do NOT sleep on posts Souldeep, Whoshecoo, Zacki, Jaco, Kosta or DocRhythm


Man post that shat! Some of us 'good ol boys' need to learn about the rest of the world of music. I'm on What.CD daily and all I see is the new white boy stuff jamming up the torrents. Matter of fact less you grab that isssh your ratio will crawl along. Wish there was a way to start a mostly jazz, R&B, soul, reggae, Brazilian, Latin (well you get my drift) torrent site. I'm so damn jealous of those "dudes" who dominate What with their music. And I mean no offense to our White brothers & sisters on SynCiti but I'm just saying how I feel. When it comes to the African Music Experience and all of its derivatives, I'm am decidedly prejudiced.


This is the primary reason for creating the lossless library. There are literally hundreds of MP3 music sites and scores of lossless sites catered to all forms of rock music. You can find damn near any rock group at these places. From the white bread sound of Pat Boone to off the wall craziness of Frank Zappa. All that and everything in between too. Gospel music or death metal. Seventies rock or 80's pop. There is grunge and garage galore. It comes in all forms and in all languages too. But if you want to find something by Luther Vandross, Harold Melvin, Al Jarreau, Chaka Khan or any black artists of today besides Beyonce, 50Cent or Jay Z good luck. The lossless library is trying to fill that void. I am not against rock music, there is plenty I like, but I can find that stuff in so many different places. The stuff posted here by primarily black (but also) latino and asian artists you can't find ANYWHERE else in this concentrated lossless format. Maybe in bits and pieces, but never all in one place

Mark Whitfield - Forever Love

Mark Whitfield has long had an attractive tone, and his melodic style is in the forefront throughout this fairly varied date. Accompanied by a 21-piece string orchestra arranged by Dale Oehler, Whitfield and his quartet mostly stick to standards. Fortunately, tempos are varied (although there are a few sleepy ballads) and Diana Krall has guest vocals on "Some Other Time" and "Early Autumn." The strings generally do not add much, but Whitfield's inventive playing makes this a recommended set anyway. Highlights include "You Don't Know What Love Is," "My One And Only Love," an accompanied guitar feature on "I Want To Talk About You" and Whitfield's "Forever." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

AMG Review 5/5

Review by Andy Kellman

One of the great decade-long singles runs is straightforwardly documented on Respect M.E., a compilation distributed throughout Europe and, unfortunately, not released in the States. From 1997 through 2006, Missy Elliott's work -- often the product of a partnership with producer Timbaland -- was in steady rotation on the radio and on video programs. Nearly every time out, she came up with something fun, inventive, out of this world, and lasting, charting alternate paths for pop music while also projecting the image of a fully empowered plus-size woman in a mainstream populated by females who tended to be anything but. Although each one of Elliott's albums is well worth owning, nothing can deny the need for this release, which includes almost every noteworthy track she released during the period, from "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" through the underappreciated "Teary Eyed." The most significant omissions are "Lick Shots" and "Take Away": hardly deal breakers. An ideal companion release would contain the hits Elliott wrote and/or produced for other artists, such as Aaliyah's "One in a Million," SWV's "Save Me," 702's "Where My Girls At," Nicole's "Make It Hot," Total's "What About Us," Monica's "So Gone," and Tweet's "Oops (Oh My)." During these years, there was no greater force in popular music.

Still, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Charlie Daniels, Kansas, America, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Lynard Skynard, Alabama, The Doobie Brothers ("Can you imagine Doobie in your Funk?" GC, Mothership Connection), Chicago, The Beatles (I'd kill to have their entire collection in FLAC!!!), I get off on them too. Guaranteed if it's posted it willget hit by me. And that's a definite.

I'm whiter than a shade of pale and, just like Kosta (btw, Kosta are you really living in Rome ??) I have many cd of classic american/british rock from the 70s, if some of you want some Allman, Skynyrd,Springsteen,Seger, Mellencamp,Petty etc etc just tell me something...
I also got the whole Beatles discography in stereo FLAC from what.cd when it was freeleach so MrDap once I finished with the soul hits of the 70s thing i will start with the English beetles..
I'm not too much into the Beatles, much more on the Rolling Stones side, but my wife likes them very much
and I have also some more Los Lobos ... to tell the truth I don't like their latest works (from Kiko onwards...) as much as their previous material...
at the time they were one of my favourite bands and I also had the pleasure of seeing one of their concert here in Italy... one of the best concerts I've ever seen..

<a href="http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:d9fqxql5ldke">Review</a>
Released in 1971, this self-titled LP was the first album that Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx, and Sarah Dash recorded under the name Labelle. Never again would they use the name Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles, and that's just as well; since the group had a new sound and a new image, it made sense to have a new name. And make no mistake: Labelle was determined to forge ahead in 1971. While pop considerations were a high priority for Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles, soul considerations define Labelle: a tough, gritty, gospel-drenched effort along the lines of Aretha Franklin, Ike & Tina Turner, and Etta James. Produced by Vicki Wickham (the group's manager) and Kit Lambert, this decent, if uneven, LP isn't in a class with subsequent gems like 1974's Nightbirds and 1975's Phoenix. Nonetheless, Labelle's performances are generally enjoyable, and the group brings plenty of passion and sincerity to original material as well as covers of Laura Nyro's "Time and Love," Carole King's "You've Got a Friend," and the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses." In 1971, the best was yet to come for Labelle, both creatively and commercially. But despite its imperfections, this LP made it clear that the trio had great potential. by Alex Henderson/allmusic.com

:498: @ ghetto stare down. Did you have your "thousand yard stare" on?

I have learned that if you like soul music, especially VINTAGE soul music from the 70's, you do NOT sleep on posts Souldeep, Whoshecoo, Zacki, Jaco, Kosta or DocRhythm

Maaaan! I was burning a hole through the damn monitor! Had gone back some 25 pages to pick up the stuff stored on layaway until my post count was high enough. Can't believe all the good stuff I turned down the first time because of all the great stuff already picked out. Those guys you mentioned above, man them guys can teach me something about Black music! And you fit in there right along with them. Me? I'm so main stream if I move either to the left or to the right of the middle of the road I'll fall off the world!


This is the primary reason for creating the lossless library. There are literally hundreds of MP3 music sites and scores of lossless sites catered to all forms of rock music. You can find damn near any rock group at these places. From the white bread sound of Pat Boone to off the wall craziness of Frank Zappa. All that and everything in between too. Gospel music or death metal. Seventies rock or 80's pop. There is grunge and garage galore. It comes in all forms and in all languages too.

Run you know this thread is in no danger of being taken over by Rockabelly Ho Down, right? Aint nobody gonna run up in here with the latest Dixie Chicks release number one on Dubya's ban list, I'm sure. Chicago are some of the funkiest White Boys you wanna know. Kansas' "Carry On Wayward Son" is in my rotation every chance I get right along with Boston's "More Than A Feeling." Ed Sullivan aint got nothin om me when it comes to The Beatles. One or two or three quality pieces of cross-the-track joints is really good for the soul IMO. Billy Idol, Crystal Meth, MegaDeth, NIN dont interest me so I'll be darned if I'd go crawling through those Rock Of Ages places looking for a good whiff of James Taylor. But if it did find its way here you damn well believe I'll grab it.

What I'm saying is...you RUNAWAYSLAVE...you are the heart and soul and pulse of this thread. The peeps who post here will never commit blasphemy on this house of worship.

Sall I'm sayin :yes:

Once more I must mention this. I meant no offense to any member of this board who is white. I was just speaking what I consider 'truth' as I see it from my vantage point. Music is the greatest communication technique in the world. And it holds many messages and even more interpretations. He who controls the message...controls the world.

Just trying to get my message across is all since my humble ass will never rule the world

Hey, you know me, I'll post some Bowie, some Sanborn, some Steely Dan and a few other white cats as well. I got nothing but love for 70's rock. Just saying that I'd like to see the whole specturm of black music being posted the same way it gets posted for white cats. But I hold every single poster in this thread in high regard. Even the lurkers. Well, they don't post, but you catch my drift. Besides, they came in here because they want lossless too!! But I look at every post as a gift whether I grab it or not. Because the person didn't have to donate diddly-squat (for you Europeans, in New York "diddly squat" means nothing). So it's all good. Post it all I don't care


and thanks for the sentiments. This thread always makes my day (long as the board is active)

Funny to see that little discusson bout the music variety here. Best of all is imho the lossless factor (and - of course - MrDap's outing as a Boston-Fan). By lookin at the peeps here passing the mic,I'm pretty sure that we'll never be affected by any kind of 'blasphemy' :))
Ok - sometimes i wish it was a little bit more of this or that because i still listen to all styles as long as it sounds subjectively good to my afflicted ears. There was absolutely nothing wrong with, for example, Kosta's CSN-drop. I played the whole thing twice in a row and I really love this shit. But - my heart will always belong to the Funk-Boogie-RnB-Soul-Howeveryoumightcallit-Stuff.
That's - and you already made the point, Run - what this thread makes special, like nothing else I ever came across ...

This is the Rurals eighth album, celebrating 10 years of releasing.

This cd is dripping with soul, but as you can imagine after doing this for 10 years we feel we really hit the nail on the head! The production is super fat and the song writing could be our best yet. There’s deep house flavours
like “Complicated”, “Cinnamon”, “Addict” and “Slow Breathing”, lush jazzy downtempo soul grooves “Pleading With You”, “Relax Your Soul”, and “Smokey Jam”, solid dancefloor tracks “Pleading With You (Moonlit Flower Mix)” and “Sorry”, plus the broken beat beauty “Read Me Like A Book”, a bit of everything for everyone...

Sly and The Family Stone - Fresh
FUNK | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | 300DPI | 310MB | 55:37
Epic 1973 (Remastered)

http://i7.tinypic.com/89lrpye.jpg

By 1973, it had been two years since Sly & the Family Stone had released the provocative, dope-fueled, and ambivalent There's a Riot Goin' On. Epic wanted an immediate follow-up, and the Black Panthers were pressuring Sly -- as they had Jimi Hendrix before him -- to be more political in his songwriting. Stone was using more drugs than ever and had lost -- due to the quitting of drummer Greg Errico and the firing of legendary bassist Larry Graham -- the backbone of his rhythm section. Drummer Andy Newmark replaced Errico, and Rusty Allen took over the bass chair. As writer Touré points out in his fine liner essay, in 1972 the country was being ripped apart, the Vietnam War was still raging, Watergate took place and was coming to the fore, athletes were killed by terrorists at the Olympic games in Munich, and the British Army slaughtered 13 unarmed protestors in Northern Ireland. The 1960s were over, and through his narcotic daze, Sly knew it too. He reassembled the band in the summer of 1972 and recorded Fresh. The set yielded one of the most amazing singles Sly had ever issued -- and considering the track record, that's saying plenty -- in "If You Want Me to Stay." In addition, there's the slow-burn gospel chorus funk of "Let Me Have It All" (that reflected the shouted immediacy of "Let Me Take You Higher"); the fist-pumping bubble-up soul in "Keep on Dancin'" (it echoes the band's first hit), and the strangely wonderful and bluesy reading of Ray Evans and Jay Livingstone's "Que Sera Sera" that came from the Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much and The Doris Day Show's theme song, sung by Day in both cases. It's a spiritual sung in soul-drenched grit with sweet choruses and laid-back minimal bass and drum lines. The set closes with a dirty funk groove in the cautionary and sadly revelatory tale "Babies Makin' Babies." The message is a bleak one, but the groove is funky as hell. Issued in 1973, Fresh interestingly turned out to be the last truly great Sly & the Family Stone album. There was one more for the bale, in Small Talk in 1974, before leaving the label for Warner Brothers. [The 2007 Legacy edition is beautifully remastered and contains alternate mixes of "Let Me Have It All," "Frisky," "Skin I'm In," and "Keep on Dancin'," and a different version of "Babies Makin' Babies."] ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Hey, you know me, I'll post some Bowie, some Sanborn, some Steely Dan and a few other white cats as well. I got nothing but love for 70's rock. Just saying that I'd like to see the whole specturm of black music being posted the same way it gets posted for white cats. But I hold every single poster in this thread in high regard. Even the lurkers. Well, they don't post, but you catch my drift. Besides, they came in here because they want lossless too!! But I look at every post as a gift whether I grab it or not. Because the person didn't have to donate diddly-squat (for you Europeans, in New York "diddly squat" means nothing). So it's all good. Post it all I don't care


and thanks for the sentiments. This thread always makes my day (long as the board is active)

When you say Bud, you've said it all!! :thumbs up:

Funny to see that little discusson bout the music variety here. Best of all is imho the lossless factor (and - of course - MrDap's outing as a Boston-Fan). By lookin at the peeps here passing the mike to each other, I'm pretty sure that we'll never be affected by any kind of 'blasphemy' :))
Ok - sometimes i wish it was a little bit more of this or that because i still listen to all styles as long as it sounds subjectively good to my afflicted ears. There was absolutely nothing wrong with, for example, Kosta's CSN-drop. I played the whole thing twice in a row and I really love this shit. But - my heart will always belong to the Funk-Boogie-RnB-Soul-Howeveryoumightcallit-Stuff.
That's - and you already made the point, Run - what this thread makes special, like nothing else I ever came across ...

So here's another 5ct, applicable for the ambitious Soul -, Blues -, Jazz -, and/or Rock audience ;)

Ray Anderson (born October 16, 1952 in Chicago) is an independent jazz trombone and trumpet player. Anderson is a boisterous trombonist who is masterful at multiphonics. Trained by the Chicago Symphony trombonists, he is regarded as pushing the limits of the instrument. He is a contemporary and colleague of trombonist/composer George Lewis. Anderson also plays Sousaphone and sings. ~wikipedia


AMG Review:
Trombonist Ray Anderson's forays into instrumental funk, blues, and R&B led him to form the Slickaphonics. What distinguishes this group from a knockoff set of imitators is that no matter what style he's playing, Anderson and his band still adhere to the highest musical standards. They don't approach this as easy money or lesser material, and thus give it the intensity and attention required to play it credibly.

Artist: Bill Withers
Title: Still Bill
Year: 1972 (Remastered 2003)
Genre: soul, r&b

FLAC+LOG+CUE

1. Lonely Town Lonely Street
2. Let Me In Your Life
3. Who Is He (And What Is He To You)
4. Use Me
5. Lean On Me

11. Lonely Town Lonely Street (live)
12. Let Me In Your Life (live)

Bill Withers came into his own on his second album, Still Bill. Released in 1972, the record is a remarkable summation of a number of contemporary styles: the smooth soul coming out of Philly, smoky, late-night funk via Bobby Womack, bluesy Southern soul, and '70s singer/songwriterism. It's rich, subtly layered music, but its best attribute is that it comes on easy, never sounding labored or overworked. In fact, it takes several spins of the album to realize just how versatile Withers is on Still Bill, to hear how he makes intricate, funky rhythms sound as effortless and simple as the album's best-known song, the gospel-tinged inspirational anthem "Lean on Me." That's the genius behind Withers' music: it's warm and easily accessible, but it has a depth and complexity that reveals itself over numerous plays -- and, given the sound and feel of the music, from the lush arrangements to his comforting voice, it's easy to want to play this again and again. Then there's the quality of the songwriting, which is as assured on the grooving "Lonely Town, Lonely Street" as it is on the suspicious, paranoid "Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?" or "Use Me," where he happily submits to being used by his object of affection. This high level of songwriting is sustained throughout the record, making this the greatest testament to his considerable gifts.

Retrieved off torrents. Not exactly Marcus Miller's best moments, but there are some fun cuts.
Still trying to figure out how they got Prestige to release New Jack Swing?
:dunno:


The Jamaica Boys - J Boys
R&B | FLAC | CUE | 300DPI | 320MB
Prestige 1990



With the Jamaica Boys, bassist and producer Marcus Miller (who worked with Miles Davis and wrote a wildly successful dance hit, ''Da Butt'') could be trying to create his own black supergroup, much as producer Teddy Riley created his successful supergroup, Guy. The comparison isn't quite accurate, though. The Jamaica Boys weren't lucky with their first album; now they're launching their second try for success. Their sound (developed not in the Caribbean but in a Queens, N.Y., neighborhood called Jamaica) is far closer to the street than Guy's, and at the same time more innocent. It's rare to hear a group that scrambles such rough-edged funk and at the same time seems so sexually innocent. There's barely an innuendo in their lyrics. They sound all but guileless, both when they sail peacefully through ''You've Got A Friend'' (a 1971 hit for both James Taylor and Roberta Flack) and in a rap-like song called ''That's Deep,'' in which they warn their community to stay away from drugs and crime. But still their current single, ''Shake It Up'' — from the movie House Party, for which Miller and his Jamaica Boy collaborator Lenny White wrote the soundtrack — pops and bounces with certifiably commercial rhythm. It's rising on the black charts. Maybe this time the Jamaica Boys will find the success they deserve — and call their next album Virtue Rewarded. B+ ---Greg Sandow, Entertainment Weekly, April 13, 1990

wanna get this, but I can't mess with MU anymore. After the 45 second countdown, I hit the "Regular Download" link, getting some kind of popup that looks malicious. Usually I close Opera browser with Task Manager when I see this, but I want this album alot so this time I just closed the window inside the browser for the first time and the download started, but it only travels at 3.5 kb/s. Now I have to run a virus check because MU never runs that slow and clearly something is wrong

Mastercuts' three-volume Classic Rare Groove series provides a sampling of the early-'90s U.K.-based phenomenon curated by Norman Jay, the DJ behind London's pirate radio station Kiss FM. The term "rare groove," as defined by Jay through his play lists, encompasses late-'70s and early-'80s dance musics that take in disco, R&B, jazz, funk, and all hybrids of those genres. While each volume has some true treasures, not everything can be expected to be earth-shattering. The second volume features Universal Robot Band's "Barely Breaking Even," Brooklyn Express' version of "Girl You Need a Change of Mind," the Headhunters' "God Made Me Funky," Carl Davis & Chi Sound Orchestra's "Windy City Theme," and Light of the World's "No. 1 Girl." ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Rufus With Chaka Khan - Camouflage [1981]
[vinyl][cover][flac]

I realized nobody had dropped my favorite Rufus album, the last one with Chaka.
This one sounds a bit like Rene & Angela... hey wait a minute, they written a few of the songs.
And it's produced by Bobby Watson, who also produced R&A. Great stuff!
Now, my vinyl is in some parts a little scratchy, so you'll hear some pops and surface noise.
Oh, it's been released on CD in Japan, and it goes for over $100 now...

Camouflage peaked at #15 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart and stalled at #98 on Pop. The album includes the singles "Sharing the Love" (US R&B 8, US Pop #91) and "Better Together" (US R&B #66, US Dance #56). Following the release of Camouflage Chaka Khan recorded her third, fourth and fifth solo albums What Cha' Gonna Do For Me (1981), Echoes of an Era (1982) and Chaka Khan (1982) and Rufus recorded their third album without Khan, Seal in Red (1983), before they reunited for one final album together later in 1983, the double live/studio set Stompin' at the Savoy - Live.

An under-appreciated gem by Rufus -- the group's last album before Chaka left to depart on her successful early 80s solo career -- and a nice one nonetheless! There's a trace of 80s groove in the mix -- especially on the bass and percussion -- but these elements are handled with all the warmth and jazziness that we've come to love from the group's 70s recordings -- and Chaka's voice, as always, keeps things strongly soulful no matter what the setting! The album's overflowing with catchy groovers.

Hello Blaq.
This LP was released on CD, but the sound is frankly disappointing, the uploaded file is for the vinyl and sleeves, to cd. Cleaned up the disc, tried and equalizer to get a good sound, which was much better than on CD. the cd is jealous to vinyl and can not always pure sound Logar an uncompressed source.
Magnum Force - Share My Love [1982]
http://i64.servimg.com/u/f64/11/64/53/57/front265.jpg (http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=505&u=11645357)
Chicago’s own Magnum Force was founded by Rick and Rory (Star) Sizemore in 1978. The band was formerly named “Seville” until 1980 when they were introduced to Carl Davis (CEO) of Carl Davis Productions and Chi-Sound Records. Davis asked them to change their name because it was said that someone else had the name Seville, first. Ah the members in the band had their own musical backgrounds before joining up together. Their first hit recording was “Share My Love, written by Ric and Ron’ (Star) Sizemore and recorded in Universal Studios in Chicago in 1982. Magnum Force opened for groups like The Dazz Band, Heatwave, Lakeside, Enchantment, Slave, Midnight Star, The Emotions, The Staple Singers, The Chi-Lites, and Gene Chandler. They were best known for being able to effortlessly blend 1970’s funk and soul with electro sounding grooves that resulted in a roller disco feel. Magnum also had other hit singles in their time including “Girl You’re ‘Too Cool”, “A Touch Of Funk”, “Cool Out”, and “You’re Not Mv Lady You’re Just A Dream”. If you are a lover of listening to music with a touch of funk, then you need to listen to Magnum Force. . .and remember: May The Force Be With You.

1. Share My Love
2. A Touch Of Funk
3. Your Lady’s Just A Dream
4. What’s Your Name

Ledisi - Turn Me Loose
VOCAL | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | PNG | 395MB | 53:53
Verve Forecast 2009

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/78399341c04238722ba6ac81e746ce9a (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/371276/LedisiTML.jpg)


Following Lost & Found, an album that earned Ledisi a pair of Grammy nominations, Turn Me Loose partially roots itself in the singer's past work and otherwise branches out from it. The album's title, as well as its cover, indicates a new, brash direction -- one that makes up only a portion of the set. Throughout the opening "Runnin," "Knockin'," and stretches of a couple other songs -- not to mention a charging, howling cover of Buddy Miles' "Them Changes" -- Ledisi and her band deliver rocking funk that cooks as hot as Labelle's "Messin' with My Mind" and "What Can I Do for You," or anything by Van Hunt. Here, Ledisi wails and belts with a kind of power previously untapped -- in recorded form, at least -- all the while maintaining remarkable finesse. "I Need Love," one of the collaborations with Ivan Barias and Carvin Haggins, is another highlight, seductively melancholy over a slick and slippery rhythm, while the title track's bluesy Southern soul backdrop seems just as ideal for Ledisi's voice. Most of the material that is in the vein of the subdued, sophisticated R&B showcased throughout much of Soulsinger and Lost & Found is fine, if sporadically tepid -- something that really comes through when heard with the harder material. Verve Forecast might be a little sheepish about their artist straying from the style that brought them success; on the sticker affixed to the album, the label singles out three songs, none of which break a sweat. They really should help her expose the versatility as much as possible. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

AMG Review:
Spending a lot of time on the road honing his act has really sharpened up Ian Moore. This sophomore studio effort is a million miles beyond his debut release, full of thundering rhythms, wailing guitar, and heartfelt vocals. He's playing and singing better than ever, and the fire we heard on Live from Austin has made its way into this new set, which starts off sounding mysterious and suddenly pounds into the tom-tom-driven "Muddy Jesus." The album does have its moments of subtlety, you'll be happy to hear, but Ian Moore has proven himself to be an absolute fireball with this release. Guitar fans, Southern rock junkies, electric blues fetishists, and general all-around hard rock fans should suck up copies right now, because this music will make all those people happy.

Artist: Bill Withers
Title: Just As I Am
Year: 1971
Genre: soul, r&b

FLAC+LOG+CUE

Track List

1. "Harlem" – 3:23
2. "Ain't No Sunshine" – 2:04
3. "Grandma's Hands" – 2:00
4. "Sweet Wanomi" – 2:34
5. "Everbody's Talkin'" (Fred Neil) – 3:26
6. "Do It Good" – 2:53
7. "Hope She'll Be Happier" – 3:49
8. "Let It Be" (John Lennon/Paul McCartney) – 2:35
9. "I'm Her Daddy" – 3:17
10. "In My Heart" – 4:20
11. "Moanin' and Groanin'" – 2:59
12. "Better Off Dead" – 2:16

Though low-key by the standards of early-'70s soul, Withers' debut record is by most measures an astonishing maiden outing. Perhaps being at a relatively advanced age for a singer-songwriter doing his first album (Withers was in his early thirties by the time it was released) helped give the songs a maturity and weight lacking in most initial efforts. Withers immediately carved a distinct niche for himself within soul music by integrating folkier, more introspective elements than what was being heard almost anywhere else within the style. While gentle orchestration and jazz-funk rhythms could often be heard, he didn't forsake some downhome blues and gospel influences, which really came to the forefront on songs like "Grandma's Hands." The lilting, melancholy "Ain't No Sunshine" was the deserved smash hit from the record, but there were a bunch of fine effervescently grooving songs on the rest of the album that remain unjustly familiar to the general audience, like "Harlem," "Sweet Wanomi," "Moanin' and Groanin'," and "Better Off Dead." All the material was original save covers of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'" and the Beatles' "Let It Be," both of which Withers made over into his own memorable acoustic-based soul style.

P&P Funk - A Collection Of Classic Funk From The Vaults Of P&P Records
Various
CD Rip - APE - CUE - Covers - 308.03 MB

http://i040.radikal.ru/0805/b6/192669e2b4cf.jpg

Incredible funk from an almost-unlikely source -- the legendary P&P family of record labels, mostly known for their groundbreaking disco work -- but also home to some excellent funky tracks in the late 70s! Given that most of the focus on P&P reissues has often been on the label's club tracks, nearly all the tunes on this CD are reissued here for the first time -- offering a completely fresh look at the sound of P&P -- making the collection a totally essential set, and long overdue! Many of the tracks are instrumental, and have touches that clearly mark them as coming from the hands of Peter Brown or Patrick Adams -- nice spacey bits in the keyboards, wickedly snapping rhythms at the bottom, and an overall sense of groove that's always yearning for something new. Titles include "I've Been Working" by Wild Honey, "Hooker (parts 1 & 2)" by Peter Brown, "I'm Gonna Fool" by Ella Hamilton, "Do The Funky Donkey" by Otis Turner, "Hitch Hike One More Time" by King David, "Long Time Ago" by Smokey Brooks, "New York Apple Jack" by Scott Davis & The Movements, "Solid Funk" by Flame & The Sons Of Darkness, and "Determination" by Eddie Owen. © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

After brilliantly surveying the social, political, and spiritual landscape with What's Going On, Marvin Gaye turned to more intimate matters with Let's Get It On, a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy. Always a sexually charged performer, Gaye's passions reach their boiling point on tracks like the magnificent title hit (a number one smash) and "You Sure Love to Ball"; silky and shimmering, the music is seductive in the most literal sense, its fluid grooves so perfectly designed for romance as to border on parody. With each performance laced with innuendo, each lyric a come-on, and each rhythm throbbing with lust, perhaps no other record has ever achieved the kind of sheer erotic force of Let's Get It On, and it remains the blueprint for all of the slow jams to follow decades later -- much copied, but never imitated.

Finally, a concept album that doesn't take itself seriously: funk from outer space. The opening "P. Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up)" shows off the empathic musicianship of the band members, backing another brilliant Clinton monologue; the title track switches from a headbanging groove to churchy incantation. Clinton and company hit the pop chart for the first time since 1967 with the anthemic "Give Up The Funk," which spotlights Jerome Brailey on drums and Bernie Worrell's squiggly keyboards; the album closes with the appropriately-named monster groove "Night Of The Thumpasaurus Peoples." A goldmine for future generations of samplers. --David Bertrand Wilson, WARR.org

Jaheim's viewpoints on music haven't changed a bit since he debuted in 2000, and fans of intelligent R&B should be praising that fact. With a raft of excellent productions from KayGee (Naughty by Nature) and others, plus a focus on celebrating love and family with well-written songs, he's remained free to craft albums full of rich harmonies and his excellent vocals (he's one of the few modern vocalists who knows exactly how far he should go with melisma). Ghetto Classics may boast nothing as ambitious as 2002's "Fabulous" (a Top 20 hit and an artistic breakthrough, all in one), and it may amp up the rapper collaborations in search of hits (Jadakiss and Styles P have appearances), but overall very little distracts from the qualities that have made him the most durable talent in commercial yet traditional R&B music. Opener "The Chosen One" is an immediate standout, a bumping love song that finds Jaheim floating serenely over one of KayGee's best productions (based on Willie Hutch's "I Choose You"). He and Jadakiss trade off on the single "Everytime I Think About Her," and the combination of smooth and rough sounds perfect. The final three songs ditch the samples for straight R&B, and while the absence is missed, it represents an intriguing direction for Jaheim in the future. Classic R&B may seem like just a memory to some, but with artists like Heather Headley and Jaheim in action, it doesn't have to be about the past. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Brown">Oscar Brown info on wikipedia</A>



AMG Album Review:
Oscar Brown, Jr. was 71 when, in June 1998, the veteran jazz vocalist traveled to Hamburg, Germany and recorded Live Every Minute for Minor Music, a German label. By that age, some singers will lose a lot of their vocal power -- Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Ella Fitzgerald are three examples of once-great singers whose voices had deteriorated considerably by the time they reached their late sixties or early seventies. On the other hand, Carmen McRae and Jimmy Scott still sounded great at 70; so it varies from singer to singer. Thankfully, Brown's voice is holding up nicely on Live Every Minute, which finds him revisiting the lyrics that he wrote for Bobby Timmons' "Dat Dere," Stanley Turrentine's "Long As You're Living, " and Charlie Parker's "Billie's Bounce" in his younger days. These 1998 versions aren't definitive, but they're enjoyably swinging -- and they demonstrate that Brown still had a lot of soul at 71. Although the Chicago native is famous for writing lyrics to familiar bop tunes that started out as instrumentals, most of the melodies that he embraces on this CD are his own -- melodies that range from playfully funky ("Mr. Kicks") to reflective ("It's October") to melancholy ("World Full of Gray"). The latter is about growing older and coming to the realization that the world usually isn't black and white but rather, a shade of gray. So why is the song melancholy? Because seeing two sides of the story (political, romantic, or whatever) when you're 35 or 40 is tougher, harder, and more challenging than seeing things in black and white when you're 19 and mindlessly idealistic; ignorance is bliss, after all. Live Every Minute isn't among Brown's essential releases, but it's a solid, pleasing effort that the singer's diehard fans will appreciate.

[leolo del sol]

Prince, Nightclubbing , Live in Den Haag, 1988, Flac,log, eac


In accordance to runs wishes I ripped this cd with eac , but it was not in the Accurip Database. It might be a proof that it is very rare. Its a Live-bootie with good quality, but its alone worth the "money" for the ingenious Whitfield Strong cover "Just my imagination" Prince is a unique musician , but I have mixed feelings about his person. I was a local promoter for a prince show in Germany and he acted like a racist. He don´t want to talk to whities (me) - we stand side by side on the green, which was coloured pink -:) and I had to talk to his manager and he recapitulated my questions or wishes for the show.
This was very strange for me. In expression Chuck D and Flav have given me a handsigned lifelong backstagepass for their shows . They are known for racistic behaviour, but we have had a lot of fun.......

Bio from www.discogs.com

Mitch McDowell, b. 1954, San Bernadino, California, USA, d. January 1992.
McDowell took the professional name General Caine in tribute to an officer who had supported his artistic ambitions when he was at military school. After leaving that institution, he formed the group Booty People with several future members of War. Signing to Groove Time Records in 1978, General Caine released his first solo album, entitled 'General Caine'.
Two years later (and still at Groove Time), he released 'General Caine II, Get Down Attack'. 'Get Down Attack' sold well, however, General Caine relocated to Tabu Records where he released the album 'Girls' in 1982. An album followed on Tabu the following year, entitled 'Dangerous'. General Caine left Tabu and moved them to Capitol Records for a 'one off' twelve inch single entitled 'Where's The Beef?' in 1984. By 1986, he landed a deal at Motown Records, although he had to go through a name change, possibly, due to the 'drug connotations' connected with his previous name, which Motown's squeaky clean image, may have demanded. Now known as General Kane, McDowell proceed to record for the label, releasing two albums, 'In Full Chill' in 1986 and 'Wide Open' in 1987.

[Game Plan]

wanna get this, but I can't mess with MU anymore. After the 45 second countdown, I hit the "Regular Download" link, getting some kind of popup that looks malicious. Usually I close Opera browser with Task Manager when I see this, but I want this album alot so this time I just closed the window inside the browser for the first time and the download started, but it only travels at 3.5 kb/s. Now I have to run a virus check because MU never runs that slow and clearly something is wrong
:sAng_scream:

Not clicking anymore MU links until they address that. Sorry

Hmm never really noticed that on my end. Opera is my main browser and I try and download off MU as often as I can. The only thing I could think is that I may get the pop up but its blocked out so it never really pops up, I just get the message saying one was blocked.

Not sure what your settings are Run but I got mine on "Block All Pop-Ups".

To do it just click F12 and it will come up or go to Tools > Quick Preferences and set it there.

From AllThingsDeep.com

"Free Man" is one of the classics of the early disco era and was the pinnacle
of South Shore Commission's output. The DC-based act had previously
performed as the Exciters; the name changed to South Shore Commission in
1970. Atlantic signed them up for a series of singles, but nothing charted.
Their luck changed with the arrival of producer Bunny Sigler. One of Philly's
most eccentric studio talents, Sigler saw in the Commission an outlet for his
compositions and an opportunity for his proteges Instant Funk to sharpen
their skills.

"Free Man," an utterly real lyric about relationships, had no chance of being
recorded by anybody on the masculinity-obsessed Philadelphia International
label because of its gay theme. The Commission had no such reservations
and took the song to #9 in late 1975. The extended version became a
sought-after classic thanks to the breakdown by Instant Funk, their finest
moment on wax prior to "I've Got My Mind Made Up" years later. "A Train
Called Freedom" and a cover of "We're On the Right Track" finished off their
chart ride.

By Dap AJ Productions

A different play order, a new cover, one great addition to the ten track
original released back in 1973 on the Philly Groove label, but other than that
and some extended play on "Armed" and "Smarty Pants" (which for some
reason was done in mono! Go figure) this is the same album that caught
people outside of Philadelphia by surprise and got them up and dancing. Al
Green's "Love And Happiness" is punched up to give it a discoesque feel. It
works for a while. A different rhythm core lead by drummer Charles "76" Collins
gives the cut a slightly different yet still Philly flava to it. The horns are
sharper and the bass has a little more punch. If only it was 2 minutes
shorter...

"Smarty Pants" brings back the original MFSB to support the three
ladies. "Newsy Neighbors" is a clever take on people who get up in other people's
business. Both "This Is The House Where Love Died" and "One Step Away" have a
Motown feel to them. The surprise cut is "The Player!" All 7 plus minutes is
included, stolen from the First Choice album of the same name. "Running Out
Of Fools" is a light stepper that neither makes or breaks the album. The last
three songs slow the frantic pace, giving lovers a reason to cuddle up. The album
has been remastered. It sounds sharper and crisper than the previous releases.
UInidisc (from Canada) did an incredible job. It's definitely worth listening to.

AMG:

Southern soul really was natural as rain, a mixture of blues, R&B, gospel and country that somehow managed to sound exactly like, well, soul, no matter how many ways it was spun, and from its first stirrings in the early 1960s until disco and synthesizers officially killed it off in the mid-'70s, a case could be made that there was no more exciting music coming out of America. This wonderful three-disc, 75-track set traces that very arc in mostly chronological order, beginning with William Bell's "You Don't Miss Your Water" from 1961 and ending with Geater Davis' last-gasp "I'll Play the Blues for You " from 1977. In between is some very exciting music indeed, including Otis Redding's stunning "These Arms of Mine," Charlie Rich's "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby" (who says soul and country aren't two sides of the same coin?), James Carr's stark and desperate "The Dark End of the Street," Etta James' powerful "I'd Rather Go Blind," Chuck Brooks' brilliant and dangerous-sounding "Love's Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down," and a pair of Al Green classics, "Tired of Being Alone" and the title tune, "Take Me to the River," and that's just a quick list of the gems found in this delightful set. Released by labels like Stax, Goldwax, Excello, Fame, and Dial, southern soul was all about emotion and groove and always sounded rougher, sexier, and more dangerous than what northern labels like Motown were doing in the same time period. Truthfully, southern soul was what it was because of the high mixture of passionate gospel in its DNA, as if these artists hoped to sing their way out of hell and into heaven. The subject was love, in all of its guises, and much like country, soul carried every bit as much sadness as it did joy. Love doesn't always work out right, whether you make it to heaven or not. That's the bottom line, and no genre has ever celebrated a more adult approach to such matters, or filled the world with so much passion for it, than southern soul. The story is here.

"The JB's grab at a piece of the disco market that made Van McCoy a solo star with this production. It's excellent throughout despite James Brown's subdued arrangements on some songs. "(It's Not the Express) It's the JB's Monaurail," usually a six-minute song, rambles for over eight. Fred Wesley's funky trombone peppers "All Aboard the Soul Funky Train" (an update of "Night Train"). "Transmograpfication" is similar to jazz trumpeter Eddie Henderson's crossover attempts on his Sunburst and Realization albums. "Thank You for Letting Me Be Myself and You Be Yours" is better than the title, with a Dyke and the Blazers-type vocal that sets it right."

Ashford & Simpson

http://i43.tinypic.com/16m22vr.jpg

Nickolas Ashford (born May 4, 1942, in Fairfield, South Carolina) and Valerie Simpson (born August 26, 1946 in The Bronx, New York) are a successful husband and wife songwriting/production team and recording artists. They met in the choir of Harlem's White Rock Baptist Church. After having recorded unsuccessfully as a duo, they joined another aspiring artist, Joshie Jo Armstead, at the Scepter/Wand label where their compositions were recorded by Ronnie Milsap ("Never Had It So Good"), Maxine Brown ("One Step At A Time"), as well as the Shirelles and Chuck Jackson. Another of the trio's songs "Let's Go Get Stoned" gave Ray Charles a number one U.S. R&B hit in 1966. Ashford & Simpson then joined Holland/Dozier/Holland at Motown where their best-known songs included "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "You're All I Need To Get By", "Reach Out And Touch Somebody's Hand" and "Remember Me". As performers, Ashford and Simpson's best-known song is "Solid" (1984).

Billy Ocean went from international superstar to falling completely off the charts in one of the most amazing rise and fall stories of the 1980s and early ’90s. This was an early, introductory self-produced session for Epic, with Ocean still feeling his way around in America after having enjoyed huge success on Britain’s club circuit. There were some decent ballads and uptempo dance tunes, but little to suggest that Ocean was on his way to becoming Britian’s pop/dance king and an urban contemporary and pop superstar in America as well.

AMG Review:
Although this date sounds political due to its title, most of the lyrics by the talented Oscar Brown Jr. deal with more universal and timeless topics. Recorded live at the Cellar Door in Washington D.C., Brown is accompanied by pianist Floyd Morris, guitarist Phil Upchurch, bassist Herbert Brown and drummer Curtis Boyd on a set of a dozen originals. Most memorable are "Maggie" (a tribute to his young daughter), "Living Double In a World of Trouble" (about having two girlfriends at once), "Forty Acres and a Mule" and "Brother Where Are You." For this 1998 limited-edition CD reissue (the recording was originally cut for Fontana), an unedited second version of the latter tune is added to the original program. Although not quite up to the level of his classic Sin & Soul, this CD is a worthy acquisition.

Billy Cobham - The Traveler
JAZZ | APE | CUE | LOG | COVERS | 374MB | 67:39
Eagle 1994

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/4ace775268a2b915973cd71c5711a11d (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/375538/B.Cobhmatravla.jpg)

The overall feel of this recording is very similar to Incoming. Peter Wolpl remains on guitar, as does Nippy Noya on percussion. The pianist has been changed to Joe Chindamo; however, his style is similar to Rita Marcotulli's on Incoming. The music is very dense and cannot be listened to casually or infrequently if one wants to absorb the full impact of the recording. The underrated Wolpl provides an excellent acoustic guitar solo on "Alfa Waves." There are three vocal tracks here, which means a meager attempt at pop on a majority of contemporary jazz recordings. Fortunately, this is not the case here. Carole Rowley does a fine job of "jazz" singing and seems to be a cohesive part of the band, rather than a novelty. Cobham's mastery of rhythm (not technique) is evident on "Balancing Act." This is an aspect of his playing that is often overlooked due to his overwhelming power behind the traps. For fans just interested in that aspect of his playing, "On the Inside Track" features a mini-drum battle with drummer extraordinaire Gary Husband. As a whole, The Traveler is a very good recording and clearly shows Cobham's constant striving to grow as both a composer and musician. ~ Robert Taylor, All Music Guide

One of the few slow jams to be released on Prelude was "You'll Never Know" from Hi Gloss. Like many of the label's acts, Hi Gloss was a studio conglomeration, organized by producer Giuliano Salerni. For the project, he assembled some of the top names on the session circuit, including Ullanda McCollough, Kae Williams, Jr. and Luther Vandross. Francois Kevorkian mixed the resulting album, which has been reissued on compact disc.

Widely expanding on simple soul music formulas to fashion some amazingly heartfelt Motor City ballads and stompers, Nathaniel “Nay Dog” Mayer will never be stacked alongside such names as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye or even Edwin Starr, but he deserves to be. Why exactly? As this disc demonstrates, Nathaniel Mayer had some huge talent, and could be every bit as dead-on with his delivery as any number of his peers. The difference seems to me to be one of production and handling. The Mowtown label, which took over Detroit (and the nation) in full force not long after Mayer recorded his most penetrating songs, had the same type of performers, overflowing with raw ability, and polished them with everything from vocal coaching to lessons at finishing school in order to appeal to a mass market listening audience more accepting of smooth pop than unabashed grit. Of course, the famous Motown production process, distribution and tighter than tight backing musicians would have done wonders, but this is all hearsay, and I humbly digress. My point is, all this great music came out of Detroit, and it’s unfortunate Mayer and Motown never came together to bear any tasty musical fruits.

Regardless, the stuff he did record during his 6 years on the Fortune label is awesome. “My Lonely Island,” with its gorgeous flute, horn, bongos, drum slapping and Mayer’s powerful lead is innovative and powerful. The opening “My Last Dance With You,” even with the somewhat distracting maracas taking too much of the volume away from the nice vocal harmonies, is exactly what a ballad should be. The overwhelming emotion in Mayer’s voice causes it to spontaneously break (twice) during his mid-song monologue. I don’t care if they recorded this stuff in a dirt-floored cinderblock studio, “Village of Love,” “Leave Me Alone,” and “Lover Please,” stand the test of time, and still sound great, despite the questionable recording techniques. Hell, these cats used the most basic elements to spin some real audio gold.

The knock-out soul take on Gershwin’s “Summertime,” as well as the title track “(I Want) Love And Affection (Not The House Of Correction),” and the revisited “Going Back To The Village Of Love,” have more of a propulsive edge, displaying the whole ensemble’s obvious versatility for the slow jams and the upbeat grooves. The final cuts “Super Boogie,” and “Raise The Curtain High” were released in 1980, nearly 15 years after anything else on this album. The transition is startling, as the sound is much cleaner and the use of a synthesizer, albeit unexpected, sounds cool, like heavy a P-funk outtake. It’s an interesting bookend to Mayer’s output, and leaves me wanting to hear a bit more of what he was laying down during that period when so much soul sold out for disco, but new wave was knocking on the proverbial door. Vampi Soul, with their uncanny ability to rediscover great musicians most worthy of grand audio unearthing, gets big ups from this record geek yet again. Please, may I have some more?

Stacy Lattisaw

http://i41.tinypic.com/4ue6hy.jpg

Stacy Lattisaw born in Washington, D.C., on November 25, 1966. When she was a teenager in the early '80s, urban soul singer Stacy Lattisaw had a string of Top 40 R&B hits, with three songs - "Let Me Be Your Angel," "Love on a Two Way Street," "Miracles" - crossing over to the pop mainstream. Lattisaw recorded her first album for Cotillion Records at the age of 12 in 1979, under the direction of producer Van McCoy. However it wasn't until she hooked up with Narada Michael Walden, a former drummer with the Mahavishnu Orchestra who was just beginning a career as a producer, that she became a star. Under Walden's direction, she had five hit albums between 1981 and 1986. She continued recording into the late '80s, signing to Motown in 1986, but her audience slowly disappeared. By the early '90s, she decided to retire from a music career and concentrate on raising her family.

After a half decade's absence and a change in lead singers to Jacci McGhee, the Family Stand returned in early 1998 with Connected. Less rock-oriented than 1992's Moon in Scorpio, the album is still more daring than many other recent retro-soul discs; shimmering string sections and guitars are put in service not only of seduction numbers like "Keepin' You Satisfied," with its group vocal interplay and sly nod to "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" but also a tough-minded remembrance of Tupac Shakur on "What Must I Do Now?" --Rickey Wright, Amazon.com

Movin’ On (1975).

R&B purists have often argued that the Commodores did their most essential work before 1977. It was in 1977 that they crossed over to the pop/adult contemporary audience in a major way with “Easy,” and subsequent hits like 1978’s “Three Times a Lady” and 1979’s “Still” (both of which reached number one on Billboard’s pop singles charts) certainly weren’t the work of R&B snobs. Of course, Lionel Richie never claimed to be an R&B purist, although it is safe to say that the Commodores were still a hardcore funk/soul band when their third album, Movin’ On, came out in 1975. From an R&B standpoint (as opposed to a pop or adult contemporary standpoint), this is one of their most essential releases. Those who love hard, gutsy 1970s funk can’t go wrong with horn-powered gems like “Mary, Mary,” “(Can I) Get a Witness,” “Gimme My Mule,” and “Hold On”; however, the song that Movin’ On is best remembered for is the laid-back, gospel-drenched hit “Sweet Love.” Written by Richie, “Sweet Love” is one of those secular soul tunes that isn’t really gospel but borders on it; when Richie belts out the lyrics, “You got to keep on searching/harder/day by day,” you feel like you’re in the front row during an AME church service. And even though Movin’ On is an LP that R&B purists rave about (rightly so), you can’t say that it was ignored by pop audiences — “Sweet Love” was a number two R&B hit, but it also reached number five on Billboard’s pop singles chart.

The title isn't just hype -- this absolutely essential three-disc box is where soul music first took shape and soared, courtesy of Ray Charles' church-soaked pipes and bedrock piano work. Brother Ray's formula for inventing the genre was disarmingly simple: he brought gospel intensity to the R&B world with his seminal "I Got a Woman," "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "Leave My Woman Alone," "You Be My Baby," and the primal 1959 call-and-response classic "What'd I Say." There's plenty of brilliant blues content within these 53 historic sides: Charles' mournful "Losing Hand," "Feelin' Sad," "Hard Times," and "Blackjack" ooze after-hours desperation. No blues collection should be without this boxed set, which comes with well-researched notes by Robert Palmer, a nicely illustrated accompanying booklet, and discographical info aplenty.

The Best of Norman Connors: Melancholy Fire

17. She's Gone - Norman Connors, Beau Williams
18. I Am Your Melody - Norman Connors, Spencer Harrison

This excellent 1999 set is an overview of drummer and producer Connors' 1975-88 work. During the mid-'70s to the '80s he was leader of the fusion of jazz and R&B during its most influential and successful era. Unlike other compilations on similar artists, The Best of Norman Connors: Melancholy Fire centers on what made Connors such a popular and enduring artist and zeroes in on his skill as a bandleader and a hitmaker. After the relative failure of his early '70s efforts, Connors finally attained the jazz/R&B mix that suited him best. Tracks like "You Are My Starship," "Valentine Love," and "Betcha by Golly Wow" with its poignant reading from Phyllis Hyman, created the blueprint for Connors' sophisticated and emotional productions. Although most are familiar with Jean Carn, Phyllis Hyman, the collection also highlights many other of Connors' vocalists. Eleanor Mills' soulful and precise vocals can be heard on the flawless cover of Jimmy Webb's "This Is Your Life" and the funky and refined "Wouldn't You Like to See." By the late '70s, and perhaps due to lessened jazz content, Connors' hitmaking acumen began to wane. Tracks like "Invitation" and "Handle Me Gently" lack the necessary jazz quotient and challenging melodic sense of his earlier work. The masterful 1980 title track, featuring Glenn Jones, is more in line with Connors' production gifts. This album is one of a handful of compilations that doesn't attempt to rewrite history with unreleased tracks and failed experiments. This set is a necessity for Connors fans and lovers of intelligent jazz and R&B. ~ Jason Elias, All Music Guide

Motown 1984

http://i43.tinypic.com/2laeopi.jpg

Stevie Wonder's career in the 1980s was a source of frustration to the fans he had earned in the '60s and '70s. In 1982, there were a few new songs on a greatest-hits album and a duet with Paul McCartney. Then came this soundtrack to a Gene Wilder comedy that was simultaneously more of a pop vocal album than most soundtracks and yet less than a full-fledged Wonder record. The gold-selling number one hit that resulted was the sappy "I Just Called to Say I Love You," a formulaic TV commercial-in-the-making. "Love Light in Flight" also hit, and the album featured Dionne Warwick on two duets and one solo. This was a pleasant record, but slight, and after four years, Wonder fans wanted more than that. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

When Allen Toussaint restarted his solo career in 1970 with Toussaint (aka From a Whisper to a Scream), he leaned heavily on songs he had written for other artists, as well as a couple of covers. It was a good way to jump-start his career, and with its elastic, elegant arrangements, it set the groundwork for 1972's Life, Love and Faith, his first album for Reprise/Warner. Toussaint seized the opportunity as a way to stretch out his sound, refining it and expanding it so it was grounded in New Orleans R&B but also encompassed hard funk and smooth soul. Though it was a soul album through and through, it also had the feeling of being part of Reprise's considerable singer/songwriter stable — such artists as Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, and Joni Mitchell — and if anything, Life, Love and Faith feels more of a piece with this group than it does with most music coming out of New Orleans in the early '70s because it also captures an eccentric genius pursuing his idiosyncratic vision. Here, it seems as if Toussaint has found every permutation of his signature sound, which is pretty much the sound of New Orleans R&B. He revives the classic, easy-rolling groove on "Soul Sister"; turns it seriously, deeply funky on "Goin' Down" and "Victims of the Darkness"; gets trippy on "Out of the City (Into Country Life)"; treads nimbly with a Philly soul variation on "She Once Belonged to Me"; and crafts a tremendous, dramatic ballad with "On Your Way Down," one of the finest songs he ever wrote. It's a textured, multi-layered record that may not be the purest dose of Toussaint, but is the one album that truly exhibits how deep and wide his talents ran.

I'm going too see him in concert this thursday, in Bologna...

Allen Toussaint produced a kind of masterpiece with his first Reprise album, Life, Love and Faith, finding previously unimagined variations on his signature New Orleans R&B sound. For its 1975 sequel, Southern Nights, he went even further out, working with producer Marshall Sehorn to create a hazy vague concept album that flirted with neo-psychedelia while dishing out his deepest funk and sweetest soul. It's a bit of an unfocused album, but that's largely due to the repeated instrumental "filler," usually based on the theme of the title song, that pops up between every two or so songs, undercutting whatever momentum the album is building. That, along with a song or two that are merely average Toussaint, prevents Southern Nights from being a full-fledged masterpiece, but it comes close enough to that level of distinction anyway due to the brilliance of its best songs. There is, of course, "Southern Nights," which Glen Campbell later took to the top of the charts, but it's nearly unrecognizable here, given a swirling, trippy arrangement that plays like a heat mirage. It's rivalled by the exquisite "What Do You Want the Girl to Do?," later covered by both Bonnie Raitt and Boz Scaggs, neither of which equal the beautiful, sighing resignation of Toussaint's impeccable vocal performance. Then, there are the songs that weren't covered, but should have been, like the nearly anthemic "Back in Baby's Arm," the rolling, catchy "Basic Lady," the stately "You Will Not Lose," or the steady-grooving end-of-the-night "When the Party's Over." Then, there are the songs that perhaps only Toussaint could sing, given their complex yet nimble grooves: witness how "Country John" seems like a simple, straight-ahead New Orleans raver but really switches tempo and rhythm over the course of the song, or how the monumental "Last Train" builds from its spare, funky opening to a multi-layered conclusion boasting one of Toussaint's best horn arrangements and vocal hooks. These disparate sounds may not be tied together by the interludes, as they were intended, but they nevertheless hold together because they're strong songs all bearing Toussaint's unmistakable imprint. They're so good that they nearly knock the "near" of off the near-masterpiece status for Southern Nights, and they're the reason why the album should be a part of any serious soul collection.

Original uploader included scans from a different version of this album. The cover will say that this album has 16 tracks, but it only has 14.
I think the tracks are the Import version and the Cover is from the US release or something....Anyway, you will enjoy this. Marcus Miller is badasss:

It is obvious from the music of his group that Marcus Miller badly misses Miles Davis. The funky grooves he uses on this CD sound like a continuation of Davis' later band, Michael "Patches" Stewart contributes muted trumpet in Davis' style, altoist Kenny Garrett is among Miller's sidemen, and Miles Davis himself (along with the voices of several other notables in very brief moments) pops up twice on Miller's release. Marcus Miller's electric bass is a major force throughout the music. Samples are used intelligently, a tribute is paid to the late guitarist Eric Gale (Hiram Bullock starts off his solo sounding uncannily like Gale), "Strange Fruit" (a feature for Miller's bass clarinet) gets a revamping, and all of the music is both danceable and full of development. A few songs (especially later in the program) ramble on a bit and one wishes that Marcus Miller would drop the funk now and then for variety's sake, but in general his set holds one's interest. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Artist: Los Lobos
Title: By The Light Of The Moon
Year: 1987
Genre: rock, americana

FLAC + LOG + CUE
1 One Time One Night 4:48
2 Shakin' Shakin' Shakes 4:11

4 Prenda del Alma 3:25

9 River of Fools 2:55
10 Mess We're In 3:01
11 Tears of God 3:47

On How Will the Wolf Survive?, Los Lobos seemed to be feeling out the boundaries of how much they could say about the hard realities of life within the framework of good-time R&B-flavored rock & roll, and on their next album, 1987's By the Light of the Moon, the group gently shifted their focus to favor their more contemplative side. While the band certainly hadn't lost the ability to rock out (check out "My Baby's Gone" or "Shakin' Shakin' Shakes" for proof), most of the album displayed a lighter touch musically, with David Hidalgo's deft lead guitar and Cesar Rosas' precise rhythm chords fueling lean but smoky R&B numbers like "Is That All There Is?" and "All I Wanted to Do Was Dance" and understated musical snapshots like "One Time, One Night" and "River of Fools." Lyrically, By the Light of the Moon is dominated by the sad mysteries of life and the less-than-generous nature of fate, as ordinary people try to come to terms with death ("One Time, One Night"), disappointment ("Is That All There Is?"), love that's faded into the shadows ("The Hardest Time"), and the mingled comfort and uncertainties of faith ("Tears of God"). While the soundtrack album to the movie La Bamba, released the same year, captured Los Lobos at their most carefree and high-spirited as they called up the spirit of Ritchie Valens, By the Light of the Moon showed the other side of the coin as the group looked into the hearts and souls of themselves and the community around them, and if it's a harder album to enjoy than those that preceded it, its depth rewards repeated listenings.

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Title: Born To Run

There is such a strange feeling to be writing this, listening intently to the remastered version of Bruce Springsteen's breakthrough 1975 recording Born to Run, as if it hadn't happened at all but was happening in this moment. To look back at pop history as something of an oracle through the glass on its reverse side is always tricky. There was a lot at stake in rock & roll in those days. David Bowie was about to move into his next incarnation after the death of Ziggy Stardust and into his Berlin period; Queen was moving away from hard rock and into its own identity as well; Roxy Music was about to crack it; the J. Geils Band was shattering houses everywhere with its brand of roots blues and barroom rock; T. Rex was almost absent on American shores, and Kiss had stepped in mightily and faultily to cash in on it all. Meanwhile, the Faces were history, and the New York Dolls were disintegrating; Aerosmith were fighting each other, Led Zep were the power and glory of hard rock; Iggy was lost to addiction; Marvin Gaye and Motown were turning into something else, as was the Philly soul sound, mutating into the next phase of funk, and eventually disco. P-Funk were tearing it up musically and on the road, but not to many white audiences; Marvin Gaye was working on I Want You; Leroy Hutson was releasing the best albums of his career but to little notice of rock audiences; Miles was in retirement, and only Grover Washington was carrying the soul-jazz banner into the future with Mister Magic and Feels So Good. The Rolling Stones were doing their thing, but they were the Rolling Stones. And then the dread Yes and Jethro Tull and Emerson, Lake & Palmer were ruining rock for another five years. The time was right for something to happen, and happen it did. Springsteen and his E Street Band, armed with a slew of session players, came ambling out of the New Jersey shadows, having no idea what they were doing with a brand of guttersnipe, gritty rock infused with soul, R&B, garage band aesthetics, and a stage show that challenged even Mott the Hoople's, to conquer the world whether they wanted to or not.

In its present incarnation, finally remastered to full satisfaction of fans in the post-LP era, Born to Run sounds as startling, dynamic, and desperate as it did in 1975. The songs roar once more with all the drama of the young, where everything is at stake. Back porches, ramshackle motorcycles, the hidden intimacy of back streets, the violent danger of street gangs vying for turf, and the story of their life and death struggles told and retold with apocryphal detail from a group of observers to those who would retell and embellish them. There's the boredom of summer days and working nine to five just to break out into who knows what, and that desire — the one that covers everything — the one that knows that just beyond the confines of front yards and downtowns lies America, and some dream that would materialize if only one had the courage to run toward it. Springsteen's voice is full, raging, howling, crooning, and above all simply full of the magic of his own words as given life by a band who knows nothing except for putting it all on the line. In its present incarnation Born to Run once again proves its place among the greatest rock & roll albums ever recorded. This is it — life, death, love, betrayal, and the dynamics of big-screen portrayals of the mysteries of everyday — ordinary life boiled down to an explosive essence that carries within it everything rock & roll ever promised.

Not exactly. Aiming for a comeback, James started imitating Prince in earnest here, draping the album cover in purple and flowers, and posing in a bright red outfit with a Hendrix-style ruffled shirt. He drops his earlier bass, horn and guitar driven sound for a synth-heavy approach reminiscent of the Time ("Judy," title track), also finding time for a blatant ripoff of Cameo ("So Tight"). He tries to draw in hip hop fans with "Loosey's Rap" featuring a guest rap by Roxanne Shanté, but without any decent hooks, the record never really gets off the ground.

Pure genius from Curtis Mayfield -- and a record that's got all the righteousness and political power you might guess from the cover! The album burns with a sense of empowerment that's every bit the best strength of Curtom in the 70s -- a sublime blend of heavy soul, funky undercurrents, and far-reaching arrangements that still always manage to groove! And Curtis' vocals are great too -- echoing out with a newfound presence that far surpasses the raspy quality of his early work with The Impressions. Arrangements are by Rich Tufo, production is by Mayfield, and titles include "Future Song" (aka "Future Shock"), "Keep on Trippin", "Can't Say Nothin", "Back To The The World", and "Right On For The Darkness."

:thumbs up::thumbs up::embarassed:Motown Legends: David Ruffin
SOUL | EAC (FLAC) | CUE | SCANS | 240 MBS
Motown 1995




David Ruffin's solo career never really recaptured the heights he hit as a member of the Temptations but he did have one classic tune "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)" and quite a few really nice songs both in the classic Motown vein and in funkier, almost-disco styles too. Collectables' Motown Legends: My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) collects 11 Ruffin tracks like the title track, the gritty "I've Lost Everything I've Ever Loved," the Van McCoy-penned groover "On and Off," and the dramatic ballad "Common Man." There are other David Ruffin collections that provide more tracks and a wider picture of his artistry, but this is an excellent low-priced introduction to his work that includes a couple of tracks that the other compilations ignore, namely his covers of Jackie DeShannon's "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" and Robert Knight's "Everlasting Love," as well as an intensely funky disco track, "Blood Donors Needed (Give All You Can)." The two covers are decent but inessential, the other track is a real gem that is almost worth the price of admission however and it is surprising that other discs of his work have ignored it. (The disc was reissued as Motown Legends: Walk Away From Love in 2001 and as Motown Legends: My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) by Collectables in 2004.)

Just as Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 wouldn't have existed without Prince, the Mary Jane Girls were created by Rick James and were very much a product of the funkster's imagination. The group's name was coined in the late '70s, when James hired them as background singers for his Stone City Band. The Mary Jane Girls (whose name underscored James' fondness for marijuana) soon became an actual group, and in the early '80s were signed to Motown (the R&B powerhouse for which James and his protégée Teena Marie had been recording). With a lineup consisting of Joanne "Jojo" McDuffie (the main singer), Candice "Candi" Ghant, Kim "Maxi" Wuletich, and Ann "Cheri" Bailey, the Mary Jane Girls portrayed various characters James had developed -- while JoJo was the tough street chick and Candi was the glamorous supermodel, Cheri was the cutesy Valley Girl and Maxi was the whip-toting, handcuff-carrying dominatrix in black leather. In 1985, Ann "Cheri" Bailey was replaced by Yvette "Corvette" Marine.

James did all of the writing and producing on the Mary Jane Girls' self-titled debut album of 1983 (which boasted such hits as the infectious "Candy Man" and the sexy, irresistible "All Night Long") as well as on the group's sophomore effort of 1985, Only Four You. That album contained the number three R&B hit "In My House" and the number ten R&B hit "Wild and Crazy Love." The only song James didn't write for the group was a 1986 cover of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' "Walk Like a Man," which was included in the comedy film A Fine Mess.

Rufus' 1983 double LP, Stompin' at the Savoy (Live) was an ambitious, eccentric, and occasionally patchy affair that grew out of a series of live shows the group staged during 1982. With Chaka Khan at least temporarily back in the fold, the band stunned packed audiences with an energetic set of old favorites and new material, even as a second Khan reunion album, Camouflage, foundered. The idea for this set, and what ultimately became the group's last album, grew out of those live shows. Recorded over three nights in January at the fabled New York venue, Stompin' At the Savoy (Live) packs three sides with live performance, leaving the fourth, a studio mini-set of all new material, the odd man out at the end. Those three live sides not only capture the effervescent spirit that infused the band whenever Khan added her phenomenal soul vocals to the funk-rock aggregate, but also wowed fans with passionate revamps of some of Rufus' brightest moments — both "Tell Me Something Good" and "What Cha' Gonna Do for Me" are powerhouse numbers, while "Dance Wit Me" and "Sweet Thing" follow behind. It's only when we come to the studio side that the effort unravels. With a handful of songs that are essentially throwaways, it's just the lone gem, "Ain't Nobody," that salvages the moment. Completely fresh, and shunting the latter day band from lukewarm to white hot, "Ain't Nobody" scored the band their 5th R&B #1 when it debuted at the top of the charts in July 1983. And although Rufus disbanded not long after, both Stompin' at the Savoy (Live) and "Ain't Nobody" ensured that the band would exit the scene on a note as high, if not higher, than they entered it.

Mandrill - We Are One [1977]

In 1977 Mandrill showed signs of having listened to fusion and had more or less left the Latin rock behind. The African influences were also granted less room on their records, and if they still stuck out from the bulk of funk bands, the gap was slowly closing. We Are One starts with the two dance hits “Can You Get It” and “Funky Monkey,” complete with inspired monkey screams. These are maybe the strongest tracks on the album, with great percussion work, fat basslines, and building horns. And ironically, in being just excellent funk numbers, they are also proof of Mandrill losing some of the creativity that made them different from most other funk bands. But if it is true that one won’t find rumbling African drums or musical journeys through all Afro-American musical styles on this album, the rest of the songs do offer a banjo-esque guitar, a harmonica solo, and some distorted rock riffs, all uncommon in late-’70s funk. And even if some of the songs are a little tired, a tired Mandrill is more than just a another band trying to sound like Parliament. (Lars Lovén – All Music Guide).

Review

The Commodores' sixth studio album, Natural High, is best known for the ballad "Three Times a Lady," which became a staple of adult contemporary radio and reached number one on both the pop and R&B charts. "Three Times a Lady" was their first number one pop hit, and Lionel Richie was being recognized as a major crossover star. Not everyone liked "Three Times a Lady" — some people found the song to be much too sappy, and R&B purists argued that the Commodores were watering their music down. But even if "Three Times a Lady" isn't your cup of tea, Natural High still has a lot to offer R&B fans. "X-Rated Movie," "Such a Woman," and "I Like What You Do" are exhilarating examples of hardcore funk, and those who appreciate artists like Heatwave and the Brothers Johnson will find a lot to admire about "Fire Girl" and "Flying High" (both of which are sleek examples of the sophisticated funk style). Meanwhile, "Say Yeah" (featuring Richie) is a first-rate R&B slow jam. Whatever your opinion of "Three Times a Lady" — whether you love it or hate it — the fact is that Natural High has more plusses than minuses and was a generally respectable, if imperfect, addition to the Commodores' catalog.

All Music Guide, Alex Henderson



Biography by Craig Lytle

Renowned for the R&B hits "Just to Be Close to You," "Easy," and "Brickhouse," to name but a few, the Commodores were one of the top bands during their long tenure at Motown. The group is credited with seven number one songs and a host of other Top Ten hits on the Billboard charts, and their vast catalog includes more than 50 albums.

Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign
BLUES | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | PNG | 217MB | 34:41
Stax 1967

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/a7198ea514c10d41127f7af2c69aa549 (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/380919/A.KingBUABS.jpg)

Albert King recorded a lot in the early '60s, including some classic sides, but they never quite hit the mark. They never gained a large audience, nor did they really capture the ferocity of his single-string leads. Then he signed with Stax in 1966 and recorded a number of sessions with the house band, Booker T. & the MG's, and everything just clicked. The MG's gave King supple Southern support, providing an excellent contrast to his tightly wound lead guitar, allowing to him to unleash a torrent of blistering guitar runs that were profoundly influential, not just in blues, but in rock & roll (witness Eric Clapton's unabashed copping of King throughout Cream's Disraeli Gears). Initially, these sessions were just released as singles, but they were soon compiled as King's Stax debut, Born Under a Bad Sign. Certainly, the concentration of singles gives the album a consistency -- these were songs devised to get attention -- but, years later, it's astounding how strong this catalog of songs is: "Born Under a Bad Sign," "Crosscut Saw," "Oh Pretty Woman," "The Hunter," "Personal Manager," and "Laundromat Blues" form the very foundation of Albert King's musical identity and legacy. Few blues albums are this on a cut-by-cut level; the songs are exceptional and the performances are rich, from King's dynamic playing to the Southern funk of the MG's. It was immediately influential at the time and, over the years, it has only grown in stature as one of the very greatest electric blues albums of all time. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Hmm never really noticed that on my end. Opera is my main browser and I try and download off MU as often as I can. The only thing I could think is that I may get the pop up but its blocked out so it never really pops up, I just get the message saying one was blocked.

Not sure what your settings are Run but I got mine on "Block All Pop-Ups".

To do it just click F12 and it will come up or go to Tools > Quick Preferences and set it there.


Thanks for the tip. Not all that enamored with pop up blockers, especially in FF, but this one works well on Netload. Also works to stop that malicious little window in MU, however it also slows the dowload speed down to 56k rates.

It works well on Netload (Nutload) though, so grateful for that

Zero 7 – Simple Things (2001)

Zero 7's ability to conjure beautiful lullabies with all the romance of 1960s French pop (as found on their debut LP, Simple Things) would have made them the toast of soundtrack composers and chill-out connoisseurs the world over. Unfortunately, two Frenchmen beat Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker to the title of "masters of comedown cool," leaving the London duo to be forever called "the British Air." And this is fair; the similarities between Zero 7's lush cinematic soundscapes and those of Air's Moon Safari and the Virgin Suicides score are so strong as to sound almost intentional. Nonetheless, their debut is a truly gorgeous album. It has all the tried and tested atmospheric tricks--bleeps and whooshes layered over plodding Fender Rhodes chords, swathes of strings and tender trumpet parps--but it's Binns and Hardaker's languid grooves and the soft melancholy of their melodies that make dream-state instrumentals "Give It Away" and "Polaris" utterly enchanting. The real power of Simple Things, however, is in its songs. As beautiful as the ambient strains are, when laid beneath the seductive vocals of Australian diva Sia on the ethereal "Destiny" or the heart-breaking "Distractions," their potency becomes apparent. --Dan Gennoe

Beautifully crafted and produced, When It Falls is a fitting follow-up to Zero 7's 2001 platinum hit Simple Things. Reintroducing several of their debut's guest vocalists, the band continue to meld subtle orchestration, elegant jazz and easy-going West Coast soul and folk, creating a sound so tasteful it makes Morcheeba sound like Napalm Death. The album opens with the appropriately titled "Warm Sound," where long-time collaborator Mozez delivers his spacey soul over a quivering flute and funky keys. Later he reappears for the string-swept lullaby "Over Our Heads." Next up is newcomer Tina Dico who lends the softest of vocals to "Home," where quietly chiming guitars rise to a careful collision of brass, and "The Space Between," a techno-update of 70s folk-jazz. Much the same service is provided by Sophie Barker on "Passing By" and "In Time," which recalls the sweet innocence of early James Taylor. It's left to Sia Furler to add extra color, her slight rasp lending character to both "Somersault" and "Speed Dial No 2." Throughout, the band introduce a welter of instruments and effects, sometimes approaching the psychedelic, though they're keen to avoid an over-technological coldness--the squeak of finger on guitar string is never far away. For fans of Simple Things, it's a real treat. --Dominic Wills

Review

James Mtume's band Mtume hit its commercial and creative peak in 1983, when Juicy Fruit was released. The infectious, mildly risqué title song — which contains the controversial lyrics "I'll be your lollipop/You can lick me everywhere" — soared to number one on Billboard's R&B singles chart and ended up being sampled by quite a few hip-hoppers, including the late Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls (who used the infectious gem on his 1994 hit "Juicy"). Some of the people who heard the "Juicy Fruit" single on the radio back in 1983 bought the single but not the album, which was a mistake because the other tracks are also excellent. In fact, many of Mtume's hardcore fans agree that Juicy Fruit is the band's most essential album. This LP came at a time when funk was becoming increasingly technology-minded. Horn-driven funk bands were going out of style, and funksters were using a lot more keyboards and synthesizers. Juicy Fruit reflects that evolution; although not totally electronic, funk/urban pearls like "Hips" and "Ready for Your Love" are very keyboard-minded. Only one horn player is employed on this release: jazz saxophonist Gary Bartz, who did his share of R&B sessions in the late '70s and early '80s but eventually returned to being a full-time jazz improviser. Throughout Juicy Fruit, James Mtume takes a very hands-on approach — in addition to producing the album and co-writing much of the material, he plays keyboards and provides some of the lead vocals (along with the expressive, big-voiced Tawatha Agee). Juicy Fruit isn't the only worthwhile album that James Mtume's band came out with in the 1980s; as a rule, his 1980s output was solid. But if you must limit yourself to one Mtume release, Juicy Fruit would be the best choice.

All Music Guide, Alex Henderson



Biography by Ron Wynn

A former jazz percussionist, Mtume moved into urban contemporary and funk in the late '70s and became one of the more successful producers and performers in both styles during the '80s. The son of the great jazz saxophonist Jimmy Heath, Mtume was a conga player and percussionist who recorded and toured with Miles Davis and was featured on albums by the Heath Brothers, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, and Freddie Hubbard.

Review

This is definitely one of my favorite contemporary reggae albums. I purchased it at the time of release, and fourteen years later I still can't get enough. I am not a fan of hard reggae but definitely appreciate the genre of music and Maxi Priest just combines all the right elements to give it a smooth, elegant, but definitely reggae feel. "Bonafide" surely gave him unprecedented recognition, because it is the production after Wild World, which opened the doors to a great contemporary era in reggae - the 90's. This cd is a winner through and through. You'll probably listen to it several times before taking a breather. My favorites are "Best of Me," "You," and "Sure Fire Love." Treat yourself to this "Bonafide" album. This is contemporary reggae in its splendor.

Biography by Steve Huey

Christened the "King of Lovers Rock" by his fans, British reggae star Maxi Priest was one of the most internationally popular reggae singers since Bob Marley. Priest's pop and modern R&B influences didn't exactly endear him to reggae purists, but they gave him a strong crossover appeal that paid off in the trans-Atlantic chart-topper "Close to You." At times he strayed too far from his reggae roots to deliver a true stylistic hybrid, but his silky-smooth voice was ideally suited for light, romantic material, and his best music was as sensual as it was soulful.

:thumbs up:INNER LIFE
I’M CAUGHT UP (IN A ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIR)
(1979, Prelude)



[VINYL] R&B, Disco | APE – 213 MB

Review:
This isn't an album that houses the joyous hop of "Moment of My Life," and it doesn't contain the towering triumph of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" either, but Inner Life's I'm Caught Up (In a One Night Love Affair) is an immensely enjoyable full-length -- one of the Prelude label's finer moments despite its low profile. Save for the assistance of Patrick Adams and Debbie Hayes on the sad title track, everything is produced with the sensitive touch of Greg Carmichael. The album is rife with sweet, upbeat dancefloor material, including "You Got Me Dancing," "You Don't Have Dancing on Your Mind," and the particularly excellent "I Want to Give You Me." What truly makes this album -- beyond the stellar production, slick arrangements, and crafty session work -- are the vocals of Jocelyn Brown, who turns in typically lively and forceful singing throughout. It's safe to say that the greatness of "I'm Caught Up" is overlooked due to the preeminence of Inner Life's other classic singles, but it's probably one of the finest "proper" songs of the disco era. Admittedly, at only five songs that clock in at just over half an hour, the album is a bit thin in terms of length.

http://i44.tinypic.com/magrnp.jpg

As they continue to evolve, the Yellowjackets have gradually gone from being an R&B-oriented fusion band to a more acoustic group that emphasizes fairly straight-ahead improvisations. Although this CD has nine originals by bandmembers and some electronics are utilized (primarily by keyboardist Russell Ferrante for color), much of the music would satisfy even hard bop listeners. Bob Mintzer's many solos on tenor, soprano, bass clarinet and EWI are excellent, but it is the tightness of the rhythm section (which also includes bassist Jimmy Haslip and drummer William Kennedy) that continues to give the Yellowjackets their own original sound. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Pieces Of A Dream - Pillow Talk
JAZZ | WAVPACK | CUE | LOG | 300DPI | 354MB | 51:46
Heads Up 2006

http://www.onlinedisk.ru/cache/9809afc820ca678f2e8a431cc5e40469 (http://www.onlinedisk.ru/view/383053/PiecesDreamPT.jpg)


There are but a few contemporary jazz ensembles that can boast of having more than 20 solid years of hits in their discographies. However, Pieces of a Dream, celebrating 30 years of funky jazz with Pillow Talk, have done just that. The powerhouse contemporary jazz combo -- which can always be depended upon to provide all the right party grooves and the sublime essence of smooth jazz -- reinvents itself on 12 songs that feature sexy riffs, infectious grooves, and the compelling vocals of Ramona Dunlap. Led by acclaimed funkmeisters keyboardist James Lloyd and drummer Curtis Harmon, "House Arrest," an instrumental song with a house-style beat, opens the set. The danceability of "House Arrest" is what makes this song so happening. On "Triflin'," "Those Three Words," and "Your Love," vocalist Ramona Dunlap examines the visual rhymes that weave their way through the group's collaborations. On "Triflin'," a song she co-wrote with Lloyd and Cherie Mitchell, her style is somewhat reminiscent of Lalah Hathaway and Jill Scott, but the synchronicity is all her own. Her scats and raps are right in line with the background vocals of Cherie Mitchell. "Sincere" features the exemplary sax work of Tony Watson, while "Attitude" sets Lloyd's complex piano lines and Watson's full-bodied sax riffs against a hip-hop backbeat. "Teresa" is a beautiful midtempo ballad dedicated to Lloyd's wife. His gorgeous piano melody is a metaphor of beautiful emotions. The title track closes the set with the flair of melodic jazz-pop. If you go for this style with its sexy edge and catchy hooks, you'll find plenty of new signature riffs and harmonies here. Pieces of a Dream have taken a fresh approach to their sound, and their craft is solidly defined. There is a creative fit that will put you "In That Mood" to make great "Pillow Talk." ~ Paula Edelstein, All Music Guide

Leslie Mándoki

http://i43.tinypic.com/17flaa.jpg

Hungarian-German musician (drummer) and producer Leslie Mándoki, born in 1953. Performed from 1979 until early 1980s as singer of the German pop band Dschinghis Khan and released his first solo album Back to Myself in 1982. His solo work - which is released under his alias Man Doki - combines rock and jazz influences sometimes in a canonical, sometimes in an experimental fashion. His studio releases benefit from many collaborations and acquaintances in modern rock and pop music such as Nik Kershaw, Chaka Khan, Peter Maffay, Pino Palladino and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame. From the 1990s on, he has been successful as producer, working with artists like No Angels, Placido Domingo, Phil Collins and Engelbert.

Prince - Emancipation
PRINCE | WAV | CUE | LOG | HQ ART | 1.81GB | 180:00
NPG 1996


Emancipation was a critical moment for Prince, one that he designed as an artistic rebirth and, optimistically, as a commercial comeback. In a typically perverse fashion, Prince decided to make the album a triple-disc set running exactly three hours, easily making it the longest album of all-new original material ever released by a popular artist. As the first album he released since leaving Warner Brothers, Emancipation was supposed to dazzle, proving that he had not lost any of his creative skills or power. And it does dazzle, but it's hard to digest a full three discs of music, even if it is almost all of high quality. Fortunately, Prince made each disc into a distinct entity in its own right, with the first being the most pop, the second being a song cycle devoted to his new marriage, and the third being a dance/funk extravaganza. Throughout all three discs, Prince tries on a variety of styles, from jazz to R&B, but he doesn't break any new ground; instead, the album is simply reaffirmation of his strengths as a composer and a musician. Emancipation doesn't have the bristling, colorful eclecticism of Sign 'o' the Times nor does it have the wildness of early one-man projects like 1999 or Dirty Mind, but with its gentle ballads and complex jams, it signals that Prince has evolved into middle-age gracefully. It's a mature effort, to be certain, but in this case that doesn't mean that it's an album bankrupt of ideas -- it means that Prince's craft continues to grow. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

This 12" vinyl single is legendary. It found it's way into the hands of but a dozen or so of the most discerning, best connected late-70s DJs in a few major US cities when it was released in Italy. However, it was so unique, refreshing, and beautifully engineered that it became an instant sensation on any dance floor lucky enough to enjoy it, and DJs of every stripe, near and far, began clammering for a copy. Acquiring one was easier said than done, although I was an avid import vinyl collector with great NYC sources, and friends with a DJ who had a copy (Chuck Parsons, Baltimore, MD). Chuckie often helped me secure hard-to-get, import vinyl, but quickly dispelled any hope of getting one of these, as he showed me his copy, and shook his head, saying "you can't get it.....it's sold out---not even DJs can get this right now". I remember the label was written entirely in Italian. Ultimately, the demand for these tracks was so great, a deal was struck between it's Italian producers and Importe/12 (Sugarscoop) to produce them along with numerous other Tantra tracks, in a packaged album for domestic US release. Tantra - The Double Album, was a huge success, and became a staple for any early-80s DJ worth his or her salt. It is catalogued following this listing, and includes several photographs, including those of the inside covers,with liner notes which contained lyrics and photos of the band, and also a commentary written by Brian Chin, the Discotheque Editor of Record World magazine. It is an accurately worded narrative of the success of the music, and how the Double Album came to be, and it is quite an anomoly for a disco album of that day (very few included such packaging). I bought a copy the week it was released, but a decade ago I bequeathed it to an up-and-coming DJ friend to help put a nugget of gold in his vinyl collection. Seeing the photos, and re-reading Brian's piece again brings back fond memories for me, and, to this day, the initial strains of "Hills of Katmandu" still give me chills. It is a true classic. The 12" singles labeled in Italian are rarest (the originals), and are valuable collector's items.

Editorial Review

Suspense is crucial to soul music. The great soul singers from Sam Cooke and Smokey Robinson to Al Green and Prince have always allowed for the possibility that their romantic pleadings might be rejected. No active singer creates more suspense in his or her songs than Luther Vandross, whose Never Let Me Go is one of his best. For example, in the opening verse of the first single, "Little Miracles (Happen Every Day)," the lonely singer longs for someone to talk to, and the gospelish voice-and-piano arrangement is heavily echoed to make it sound even lonelier. On a happy, up-tempo song like "Heaven Knows," there's a hint of uncertainty. The music radiates optimism, as a catchy pop-rock hook is married to co-producer Marcus Miller's out-front R&B bass riff. As on every album, Vandross includes a tribute to his musical roots, and this time it's a medley of the Bee Gees' 1977 disco double entendre "How Deep Is Your Love," an instrumental version of the Spinners' '74 hit "Love Don't Love Nobody," and the '54 Johnny Ace hit "Never Let Me Go." In this pop-music era of overbearing arrogance and unending self-pity, Vandross's suspenseful balance of yearning and doubt may be mistaken for slickness by some glib observers. For anyone interested in hearing a great voice explore the subtleties of adult romance, however, you won't find anything better than Vandross's.

Review

When Boz Scaggs signed with Virgin Records after spending at least 17 years with Columbia, listeners had no idea what to expect. Some Change proved to be a pleasant surprise. Instead of going out of his way to be as slick and commercial as possible or offering something contrived and robotic, the singer-turned-restaurant-owner let his better instincts win out and delivered a very honest and natural-sounding collection of pop, pop/rock, and soul-influenced pop. On songs ranging from the smooth "I'll Be the One" (which has a slightly Average White Band-ish appeal) and the haunting "Sierra" to the ominous "Follow That Man," there's no question that Scaggs is coming from the heart. Arguably, Some Change is his best album since 1976's Silk Degrees.

All Music Guide, Alex Henderson



Biography by Jason Ankeny

After first finding acclaim as a member of the Steve Miller Band, singer/songwriter Boz Scaggs went on to enjoy considerable solo success in the 1970s. Born William Royce Scaggs in Ohio on June 8, 1944, he was raised in Oklahoma and Texas, and while attending prep school in Dallas met guitarist Steve Miller. Scaggs joined Miller's group the Marksmen as a vocalist in 1959, and the pair later attended the University of Wisconsin together, where they played in blues bands like the Ardells and the Fabulous Knight Trains.

Review

There was a time, many, many years ago, long before he became known as the king of pop, when Michael Jackson was simply regarded as an incredibly gifted soul singer. He and his brothers had had several years of international success (and a bucket load of number one singles) as the Jackson 5 but as the boys grew older, they hankered for more control over their music and their destinies. Reportedly, Berry Gordy wasn't so keen on letting them have it.

So they quit Motown - sadly, Jermaine couldn't join them as he'd gone and married the boss's daughter - and with youngest brother Randy, joined CBS and changed their name to The Jacksons. CBS brought in super-producers Gamble & Huff, McFadden & Whitehead and Dexter Wansel. Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff had founded Philadelphia Records in 1971 as direct competition for Berry Gordy's Motown and in fact, had enjoyed huge success with their 'Philadelphia Soul' sound with acts like Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The O'Jays and BillyPaul. Wansel at the time was relatively new but he made his mark on this album and also worked on the Jacksons' follow-up, "Goin' Places".

This album is the end result and it spawned the hits "Enjoy Yourself" and "Show You The Way To Go" - a tune that still gets played on my local radio station to this very day. The producers wrote all the songs, except for the beautiful mid-tempo Blues Away, which was penned my Michael Jackson himself. Other Jackson brothers shared in the lead vocals but it's always Michael's voice that rings clear and true. He and his brothers sound like they're having a really good time doing what they do. Songs like "Think Happy", "Good Times", "Living Together" and "Dreamer" are simply joyful to listen to.

This is one of the best soul records of that era and people who use albums like "Thriller" or/and anything that came after it to assess Michael's prowess as a singer have no idea. Personally, I believe it was on "Off The Wall" that he last did soul. He was one of the best soul singers of our generation and if you need proof, you need look no further than this gem. Still worth a gander after 30 years.

Review

The sound of En Vogue isn't greatly affected by the departure of Dawn Robinson for their third album, EV3, since the group's harmonies remain remarkably supple and soulful. Instead, the group are hurt by its selection of producers and songwriters. En Vogue have decided to work with Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy only occasionally on EV3, choosing to hire such professional songwriters and producers as Babyface, David Foster, Diane Warren and Ivan Matias, who arranged their hit single "Don't Let Go (Love)." At times, these pairings work: Babyface's "Whatever" is funkier than his previous work, and Matias brings a gospel-drenched sensibility to his songs. In the cases of Warren and Foster, they reshape En Vogue as an adult contemporary band, sapping the group of any of their energy or style. Still, there are enough strong moments scattered throughout the album to make it worth the wait.

All Music Guide, Leo Stanley



Biography by Steve Huey

The female vocal quartet En Vogue was conceived and put together by the production team of Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, both former members of Club Nouveau. Foster and McElroy wanted a vocal group who could exude sultriness and intelligence in addition to vocal proficiency, and as producers, they wanted material that would fuse R&B and girl group traditions with hip-hop and new jack swing rhythms.

Review

Rufus was one of the most respected groups in the '70s and '80s. Although lead singer Chaka Khan's charismatic vocals were their drawing card, few outfits boasted the skill as Rufus as a band. Songs like "Please Pardon Me," "Sweet Thing," and "Fool's Paradise" are a few of the tracks that displayed the perfect marriage. This 1977 effort is the follow-up to 1975's Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan. Ask Rufus has the group doing more sophisticated and constantly challenging work with an accent on evocative ballads. The effort's lone dance track "At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up) has the band going for more subtlety. The jazzy "Close the Door" has a confident and gentle vocal from Khan and a beautiful string arrangement from Clare Fischer who offered them throughout this effort. The well-arranged "Earth Song" could be called botched poesy with lyrics like, "Stars what a mystical woman that you've made me," but Khan's charm keeps it from being an overstatement. The best track, the evocative and sensual "Everlasting Love" has great bass and guitar interplay from Bobby Watson and Tony Maiden, respectively, and an appealing earthy and ethereal vocal from Khan. The much loved "Hollywood" has just gotten stronger, with lines like, "Fixed expressions/Smiles worn thin" exhibiting a surprising and apropos world-weary view. The most ambitious song, the evocative "Egyptian Song," has Middle Eastern motifs and a compelling vocal from Khan that pulls it all together. With great keyboard signatures from Kevin Murphy and David "Hawk" Wolinski and Andre Fischer's steady and judicious drumming, Ask Rufus is one of their best albums

Review

I was in a specialist record store in Essex with my brother last summer and I noticed he got really excited when he saw a copy of The Blackbyrds' "Better Days" on CD and without any hesitation whatsoever, paid an eyebrow-raising price for it. I remembered the group from back in the day of course and the cover of the album looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't for the life of me remember any of their songs. I knew the album had to be something special though because although I'd never admit it to him, my brother's knowledge of music is much more extensive than mine is. He has good taste in music too but he gives jazz a wide berth so I feel I have the edge on that score.

So obviously I didn't breathe a word. I made a mental note of the album though and eventually came across this, which seemed like the proverbial gift horse, as it's two albums on the one CD. Not only does it have the album my brother snapped up, it's got another one as a bonus.

The first album ("Action" from 1977) is actually very good. Nice and easy soul songs, some funky, some of them veering delightfully into rare groove territory, drifted out of the speakers one after the other and by the time it came to a close, I was already very glad that I'd got the CD. I didn't hear anything familiar and didn't hear anything that made me jump out of my seat, except for the shimmery, jazz-tinged "Mysterious Vibes" and the instrumental "Something Special" but it didn't matter. The overall quality (and enjoyment factor) of the music is just that good (and just that high). The ballad "Soft And Easy" is also notable but only on account of the fact that it gets very saucy towards the end, à la Donna Summer in her early days of songs like "Love To Love You Baby" and "Could It Be Magic".

The second album ("Better Days" from 1980) initially had me wondering. The first couple of songs came on and though they were well produced, well played and so forth, I began to wonder what my brother had been so excited about. Then "Without Your Love" came on and I got it. This tune was a staple of the school dance floors back in the day, alongside other tunes like Delegation's "Darling, I Think About You" and Shalamar's "Make That Move". That tune alone is worth the price of the CD and would be guaranteed to go down a storm at a party if I were still DJ-ing.

But there are a couple of other good tunes here as well. "Love Don't Strike Twice" and "Don't Know What To Say" particularly stand out.

All in all, this is a great collection of 17 soulful, funky and totally summery songs. Little wonder really, as they were all produced by George Duke. I've researched the group now and have learned that The Blackbyrds were indeed huge back in the early 80s. They are Kevin Toney on keyboards, Keith Killgo on drums, Joe Hall on bass, Orville Saunders on guitar and Stephen Johnson on saxophone. The albums feature people like Ernie Watts on tenor and soprano sax, Ray Parker, Jr on guitar, the legendary Donald Byrd on trumpet and the equally legendary Jerry Hey on trumpet and horn arrangements. Fans of what we Brits call rare groove will love this, as will fans of bands like Maze, Earth, Wind & Fire or even Cameo or Brass Construction. This is quality music. Soul with a funky edge. Well worth checking out.

it's on what.cd, and surely some members here have already downloaded it...

Figures it would be there. If I want it I have to keep my pc on for 100 days straight so my share ratio stays up to their standards.
I think I would rather buy the disc for 75 bucks...and you know how I feel about that
