4. THE HOLIDAYS, "All That Is Required Is You"/"I'll Keep Coming Back" (instr.) (Revilot)...Dark and soulful with great falsetto lead vocal, hard drums, and folk-funky acoustic guitar, glaringly George Clintonesque in its off-kilter beauty...one of the toughest on the label; doesn't really turn up in Detroit (let's just say I've found more copies of Jackey Beavers in the past five years than of this one)...VG+...125

10. FREDDIE TERRELL, "Soul Know How to Make Music"/"Respect Yourself" (Shout)...Highly recommended funky dance-floor destroyer which introduces the instruments one by one, building from just hand-claps and congas to a full frontal assault punctuated by stinging distorted guitar..."If you leave, don't you go far, Freddie Terrell gonna play his guitar!"...M- stock, 100...M- white promo, 125
