Early 70s funk soul at it,s groovy best. Since it's first play at our Rialto SOul Club it raised WTF is that questions from everyone. Shit rare with only 2 copies on the Bay in 3 years! Both I bid for and got this one on Streaker. Euphoric soul. Any information regarding Force appreciated. I did hear it was a mispress on the label and should be Lifeforce. What ya think? Listen below - check out that break in the middle. Holy Moses

A hundred views and no one wanna gimme thoughts on this? Oh well.

it's okay, sort of white sounding though

I've got a copy of this. Written by Frank Filipetti who went on to engineer some big pop tunes in the 80's and got a grammy in 1998 ...if this is the same guy,

he was from Connecticut but came to NY in 1971 as a writer so fair to say this is a NY label recording (1974)

Mines for sale if anyones interested?

Another club fave by Dean Francis, both side are excellent but I prefer this one.

i had breakfast with dean francis once, super nice guy

PM'd you the price..

I like the flutes but the vocal leaves me cold, like someone pulled out a 5 " cold steel whip-blade and separated my shoulders...........

I Like it..pretty hip soundtrack thingy...feel sure this as been included on some funk compilation Lp Cd...I could be wrong...still wots the 45 going for .

No way you're dissin' the FORCE!

I have no idea what you're saying.....

But you like it, and that's all that should matter to you, I don't like it, and that's all that matters to me.

Have a pleasant day.

No probs Brett take care ma man

sounds a bit like a white psychedelic record

it's okay, sort of white sounding though

That was so awful I'm speechless for once...

If it was a tenner I doubt anyone would bother with it, very average.

very average.

I think you are being a bit generous there Chalky.

Utter tosh.

its an ok record................not sure if you could play it anywhere apart from at home. ok for a tenner as well. not to shell out any kind of brass for

dave

I like it

It's like the stuff that gets called "Free Soul" in Japan. I think it's a really nice tune and I'm going to play it a picnic gig that I do. It'll fit right in with a set that includes Terry Callier, Steely Dan, Rotary Connection, Odyssey ( Battened ships ), Zero 7, Seu Jorge, Richie Havens and so on.

Love the anger this generates lol I better tell everyone at the club they're wrong, bet they'll be pissed.

What anger? You asked what people thought, you got some answers.

No anger here - that would mean some form of emotion - and to be honest it's definately lacking in that.

Dreary would be a fitting description.

i bought a copy of the record from someone here and played it on my radio show, honestly it was the weakest track in the set

Oh well different strokes - thanks for yer honesty though. Out of curiosity what do you guys rate that's relatively newly descovered/unearthed or reborn?
