Mom's Apple Pie released this LP on Brown Bag records in 1972, including a very credible version of 'I just want to make love to you'......first up is the banned cover, second image is what they used to replace it. Not too difficult to see why the first was banned.

There's a few available on ebay, sir.

At DCGS HQ, we're striving to bring you the soulful sounds you might not have heard before.....it always seems so long to wait for another 4 weeks to go by until the next show. Rest assured though, that we're spending the time, loading up the collection, to bring you the best broadcasts we possibly can. In the coming months, expect to hear more tunes like this. Thanks for tuning in and for all your support! https://www.dropbox.com/s/2hlh4qk4c9y02o6/DCGS%20Sneak%20Peak%20March%202015.mp3?dl=0

There's been some PM'd interest on this title but no solid buy as yet.....I priced this with no other guideline to go against, except the knowledge of how rare this is and how it impacts the right dancefloor. I'd be willing to accept a decent offer to give this great track more exposure and a new home. Cheers!

The Jester Wild excellent DJ mix site recently asked me to provide another mix for them....this time, I thought I'd keep it 100% gospel r&b....so we head to moody downtempo territory to kick things off before taking a walk through a selection of strollers and swayers....and then we heat it up nicely with some quality dancefloor destroyers. Check it out by following this downloadable link.
