Now thats A list..

Just to add...that Ballads track is one I had in 79, bought in a job lot....and I've never heard it out!

Very nice chill out soulful tune.

Add on..

Yep, some classy choices there, cheers

cheers guys 🙂 I've got 3 more sets ready in my i-tunes library, its a matter of going through tracks you really like, or a rare 45 which I like but does it really hit the spot? is it a track I get an immediate YES from?  if it isn't, its out... That Ballads is just so classy Ed, it's a perfect soul record... I like the other version they did, but those strings, gad dam!

Trying to work out why I

haven't played Harvey Mason for over 35 yrs!!!

its so sharp, 'Till You Take My Love' just my kind of track 🙂 like his others, Pack up Your Bags is very good, don't know if he had an LP ion Arista? but Till You Take My Love is my favourite 🙂

Hi Mal,  Yes I have the LP "Funk In A Mason Jar" like lots of the Jazz/Funk albums of the time a bit patchy

is there any other tracks to speak of? I.e any good?

If you like smoother Jazz - Set It Free; Phantazia and Liquid ok

For something funkier - Funk In A Mason Jar

will check those out, I do like Jazz and jazz influenced tracks, there is just more to them, the musicianship is well above the general 4 to the beat plunder... which of course I like as well...
