    I think it is an excellent lp - there are probably 4 or 5 cuts that you could 'play out' on it.

    My current fave cut off there is a boogie-funk rap-ish thing called 'whoop tee doo' which reminds me strangely of 'the magnificent seven' ( off 'sandinista' by the clash) - I guess both cuts are ultimately derivative of 'good times'( chic).

    disclaimer: I sold one recently on ebay.

    Thanks! That cover (and the price tag) got me curious.

    in my pj's waving a biscuit

    for real I haven't listened to it in a while, but I didn't think it was as facemelting as the sleeve and title suggested... need to pull it out again I suppose

    I've got a beat-up 45 (!!!) off it too

    there's no year on the cover or label - sounds like it was from the early 80s?
    I've got a Charlie Jones LP recorded in the same studio (Galaxie III in NC), are there any more (soul) productions from it?

    Thats Harry Deal's studio (of 'And the Galaxies' fame - beach music)

    He had that 'Fonky Fonky' single

    There's tons of stuff from all genres recorded there in the 70s-80s, I'll let jmperlu elaborate (if he shows up here)

    Checked this LP out again yesterday and its just as mediocre as I remembered

    Don't sweat this record at all

    There are plenty of dollarbincommons of the same genre that are far better

    Half the record is terrible, the other half is just okay
