'Give It Up' off the 1st album is one of my all time fave funk tunes - and 'Summer Madness' just can't be touched - way ahead of it's time.

Chocolate Buttermilk is a fantastic tune. Probably my favorite as well.

Last year I found the first LP for a couple bucks, and I was thinking I'd sell it since I'm more of a 45 collector, but then Give It Up got under my skin...it's not going anywhere now.

Who's Gonna Take The Weight still sounds pretty good as well.

Girf

We're on the same page mate !!!

Not a chance.

That box was chosen after careful consideration & rejection of the many other containers that were available at the time.

The northern soul box has is well crafted, cherished and offers an unequalled level of user satisfaction.

Aw c'mon Russ in our day we could do it surely

I love it because it almost could have been "Northern"

need help on this one, the b side of one of their delite 45,s was called sunshine and was awesome jazz funk heaven, other than that jungle boogie (lees brook youth club top 45 circa 74)

John

Hey-hey-hey, what you got to say? -"Hollywooooooooooooooood Swingin"! Still one of the greatest non-Northern dance records of all time and it probably always will be...

Got to be the mighty "RATED X". Uptempo, brassy, psychedelic brilliance. Does anyone know if this was a 45 'cos I would love a copy.

Jordi

I used to prefer KEWELL and the Gang. Before he went to Liverpool that is...

I love 'Heaven at Once' from the Wild and Peaceful LP

My faves by Kool and the Gang are Joanna and Cherish.

I heard the latter when I was in my car on the A10 about to do a right turn and it came on Smooth FM, the words bought tears to my eyes.

I've always liked K and the G, although I only really know their better known tracks, Jones versus Jones and Too Hot are both nice too.

AH But Russ this is "SOUL"source nuff said

"kool it here comes the fuzz"

monster horn riff ripped by large professor for kool g raps

"bad to the bone"

"n.t"

remember when i brought the kool jazz lp at a blind guess years and years ago

from reckless.

then i came to the last track "dujji" wow!!! samples by gang starr for "jazz thing"

i could talk all day about this group, one of the best funk soul groups to have ever come out..period

think one of them is the dad of p.m dawn "memory bliss" geezer

Take my heart is pretty good, in a modern soul sort of stylee

I hate Kool and the Gang. I always thought they were a real divvy outfit rather than cool in any way at all.

Bloody hell Tony Welcome mate !!!!

I've got a lot of their earlier stuff & was thinking how bloody horrible & dated it would sound now (imo which I think I'm still entitled to ) But I had forgotten that one & yes it brought a smile to my face, nice one mate

Be good to see ya some time.
