My copy is a white-label promo on the Scram label, distributed by Scepter. The mix is hot just like a funk 45 should be.

Jimster said: Nassau is "Like a worn out recording of a favourite song" (Piña colada-R) whereas TU is still relatively fresh to me. So, +1 for "Tighten". This, I find hard to believe. At this point I'm more likely to hear "Tighten Up" on…

Don't remember this tacky video, but I certainly recall the song. Entered the charts that spring, and was seemingly blaring from everybody's backyard, open window and basketball court that summer.

Laserwolf: I wasn't too impressed with that latter-day Howard Tate album. As far as the D'Angelo album (which is great, BTW), I never thought of him as being past his prime. He just took an extended break ala Donny Hathaway (who was making a lowkey…

Since this thread originally appeared, now it seems like vinyl is the big retro item of the moment, with CDs becoming semi-forgotten. Some of the observations here have dated, but that's what makes this conversation interesting. Wonder if Laser Wolf…

You guys are slowly confusing AOR with adult contemporary. No self-respecting Album-Oriented Rock station back in the day would have played something as baldly poppish as the Addrissi Brothers.

He is also one of the FEW black bluesmen from his era, apart from Albert King, that held on to his black fan base and his new white crowd simultaneously. Muddy and the Wolf were basically white attractions after, say, the mid-sixties. Bobby Bland an…

he resurfaced with an album on Ode ca. 1975 called Natural Juices that no one seems to talk about. (Any opinions?) natural juices is the one i come back to most, thing is a goddamn masterpiece... Was he still in the protest bag by t…

I don't 100% regret getting rid of it, but I remember owning a copy of the Blue Mountain Eagle's album back in the 90s. Wasn't feeling it, wasn't hearing it, so I sold it. Some years later, there's a CD compilation of Nixon-era hard-rock that includ…

Water damage on a few record covers that came from a leaking air conditioner.

I avoided buying Headless Heroes for a long time. I'd already owned the Outlaw album (great cover!), which I thought was more "interesting" than actually "good." Okay, it's nice to see that this former pop balladeer had a social-consciousness period…

As for me... Two Stevie Ray Vaughan albums I bought when I was a teenager. Haven't played them since the early 90s, at least. He was a talented guy, and I still have a grain of respect for the man, but my tastes have gone through a few paradi…

My college freshman year was 1985-86. At that point, as far as new releases went, I liked a lot of the indie-rock bands like the Replacements and the Minutemen; roots-rockers like Jason & the Scorchers and Los Lobos; just about all the contempor…
