    That was just a story they made up to sell records. It was just a bunch of English studio musicians.

    How's about this one?




    According to the Soul Walking UK site:

    "Ike White's LP is unusual in as much as it would appear that Ike was serving time at the California Department of Corrections in the Tehachapi State Prison at the time of recording! On L.A. International Records from 1976... Big thank you to Superintendant Jerry Enomoto for letting Ike out to record this gem. By the way, none other than Stevie Wonder wrote the sleeve notes on the cover."


    Anyone heard this?

    bobby beausoleil - lucifer rising soundtrack.

    i believe he was already in prison when he recorded this?

    yes... he's been in prison since 1969, the tate/labianca killings were supposeddly copycat killings to prove his innocence... also, he played in Love back in the day... and recently contacted my girl to try to show his art at her gallery

    that said, it's a pretty good soundtrack...

    oh, and "sacred love" by the bad brains, if no one has mentioned it...
