I don't mind a quick listen to "Ginseng Woman" by E. Gale and "first Course" by L. Ritenour..... do you know any other not-so-horrible output for the same label ?
Comments
mmhhh... so please name the best one in your opinion (my hancock knowledge ends with "thrust")
Here are two more:
-"I Am"-Earth, Wind, and Fire.
-"Menagerie"-Bill Withers.
-cosign on the Herbie Hancock joints.
No love for Weather Report from that period?

No. They can take their fedoras and their alto saxes and stick 'em up their collective proverbial. Innit.
BTW talking of Hancock: Secrets or Man-child ? ?
- Johnny Paycheck, Armed & Crazy
- Laughing Dogs (self-titled)
- Sinceros, The Sound Of Sunbathing
- Bobby Rush, Rush Hour
- Permanent Wave (various-artist compilation of punk/new wave acts)
- The Clash(self-titled; actually came out in the UK in '77, but was released in the US in '79)
- Ian Gomm, Gomm With The Wind
The Beat - s/t
Jules & the Polar Bears - Got No Breeding and Fenetiks
Max Roach - M'Boom
Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town
Samuel Jonathan Johnson - My Music
The title track is one of my favourite raregroove tracks of all time.
Check it.
Cosign on all the Herbie joints too
Thanks, forgot all about the Beat!
I have a 7" promotional EP Columbia put out featuring these two bands plus the Sinceros and the Hounds that was meant to hype their more accessible new wave acts (in other words: power pop). I forget the title right now, but this EP turns up regularly in used stores...
Great record. I brought it up a while back in a power pop thread over at wankerdermy and either no one knew it or no one liked it.
A guy I know from another message board is like the biggest Laughing Dogs fan going, and it was through him that I started listening myself.
I didn't like that Live At CBGB's comp on Atlantic the first time I heard it years ago, but I recently bought it because the Laughing Dogs were on it, so I'll likely listen with a fresh pair of ears this time.
Oh, another great CBS record from the end of the decade:
Epic was under Columbia in '79?
Epic has always been under Columbia.
or if you are across the pond, it was called "Killing Machine"
also on epic...
1979
track 2, track 5
added bonus, concept album on doin the nasty.
I'd go with Man-child.
Yeah, that's the record I was talking about.
The long-haired, metal looking dudes on the bottom right-hand side of the cover up there were Chicago's own Hounds, who passed for punk rock in the Windy City and even attempted to challenge the Ramones to a battle of the bands when the latter came thru town.
Wrong date, 1980. Great album, though.
