    if you like this track, you'll enjoy the rest of the lp. its got that Hi/Willie Mitchell vibe.

    LaVice & Company - Thoughts Were The Days

    I believe this is an LP track only, from the 'Two Sisters of Baghdad' LP, which you'll need deep pockets to get hold of.

    This applies to the O.V. Wright, as well - for some reason
    it goes for over $200 while his just as good and more obscure albums
    like Nucleus of Soul go for under $100. "Obscure" meaning that
    there are a number of tracks on Nickle & a Nail that you are
    certainly familiar with and probably have on 45, like "Don't Let
    My Baby Ride," "Ace of Spades," "Eight Men Four Women" - while
    Nucleus of Soul and even the easily found and cheap Memphis
    Unlimited     have just as much strong LP-based material.
    Having said all that, I wouldn't hesitate to cop N & a N, even
    for a high price, if only because every O.V. album on Backbeat
    is always an absolute killer.

    I think N&AN cross over to blues while the other titles are of intrest to deep soul collectors. OV Wright on Back Beat =

    O.V. Wright on Back Beat is like James Brown on King...something you do NOT think twice about, you just buy. If you're into southern soul verging on blues, then O.V.'s definitive Back Beat sides are what you want.

    (At least two of his Hi albums, Into Something (Can't Shake Loose) and The Bottom Line are essentials too, but that's another thread altogether.)
