Honestly, I'm not a big fan, but if you like that record you might like more of their stuff.
Most folks on here probably prefer "Jan Jan" and there's always the "What's Up Front" debate. Do a search on here and I'm sure you'll turn something up. They were always kind of "eh" to me, but there's a few songs I like. I think everone can agree to stay away from "Funk Pump" ("but there's BREAQXKZS though!").

Funk Pump is ass Jan Jan is great funk pretty much all the way through Love Sign is pretty nice and I haven't seen an affordable copy of Whats up Front that counts ever (I refuse to pay over $50 for this LP)
Agreed, thought that LP was kinda weak. As Guzzo said, Funk Pump is ass. What you wanna get is the What's Up Front LP or the Fabulous Counts LP, the best cuts of which are available very easily on 45.
Since every time the Counts come up everybody hats on Love Sign, let me co-sign on the initial post, and say I like that album. It's like a funkier rip-off of The Whispers Planets of Life LP.

The recurrent dissing of this LP on here made me pull it out from the shelf after years of hibernation. I still like it. The title track on side 1 is a slow sleeper that I hadn't noticed before, and side 2 is still solid all the way through IMO. I'm stilling missing the 'What's Up Front' LP.

The Fabulous Counts LP sounds like a $25-40 record to me, not a $100...
I say grab the 45s, or the reish (in fact- I think my fave Fab Counts 45 isn't even on the LP, "People Get Down"?)
As far as the Counts are concerned... I too enjoy portions of Love Sign... got Whats Up Front recently for around $20 which was fine... some heaviness on there...
That's retarded ... it's not even a nice copy! All I can think of is, two dudes each putting retarded opening bids, thinking nobody else would go that high? Shit still has 3 days left - will we see a retraction?
I can understand "overspending" on an exceptional copy of something, but setting a new high on a title for a VG+ worn out copy is just little dudin' to the max.
Don't sleep on the Bad Smoke "Crawl Y'all" 45, which is the Counts under a different name. May also be the inspiration for the Detroit Sex Machines "Funky Crawl". At least I seem to remember hearing that somewhere. I'm drunk though, so I could be wrong.

Hi Day
"What's up front" is worth snagging for 50 to me, great record.
