About this product
The Record That Preceded the Soul-Jazz Movement Kool and the Gang's Funky Live at P.J.'s Thrills with Boundless Diversity, Virtuosic Interplay, and Contagious GroovesExperience the Exhilarating 1971 Album in Audiophile Sound Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM LP Is Strictly Limited to 2,000 Numbered Copies and Plays with Exceptional Detail and ClarityMake it funky. Kool and the Gang do that and much more on Live at P.J.'s, a freewheeling concert album that both preceded the resurgent soul-jazz movement by decades and demonstrated the boundless diversity, virtuosic skill, arrangement chops, and contagious energy of a band that refused to be hemmed in to any particular style. Filled with then-new compositions, this wordless 1971 set comes on like one long, magnetic, ever-shifting groove. No less of an authority than James Brown said of Live at P.J.'s 'Don't play this in the car when you drive. The groove is so funky, you'll wreck.' And consider that the album-opening 'N.T.' includes one of the most famous drum breaks in history, one since sampled by the likes of Public Enemy, N.W.A, Nas, and other prominent hip-hop artists. Or, just listen to how magic transpires from one cut to the next.Sourced from the original analog master tapes, strictly limited to 2,000 numbered copies, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM LP presents the influential record in audiophile sound for the first time. Live at P.J.'s plays with deeper, tauter bass, enhanced definition, and more realistic presence than prior editions. Everything from the brassiness of the horns to the snap of the snare to the rattle of congas comes across in full-range perspective. That includes not only the standout musicianship but the inventive approaches, fearless attitudes, and immense creativity. Kool Jazz, indeed.1/4' / 15 IPS an

Vinyl LP pressing. 50th anniversary reissue of The Bar-Kays' 1969 album, originally released on Stax subsidiary tag Volt Records. Gotta Groove marked a triumphant return by a band reeling from tragedy after four members of the band were killed in a plane crash with Otis Redding in 1967. Surviving members Ben Cauley and James Alexander rebuilt The Bar-Kays with new musicians, and by 1969 they were back in the studio working with artists like Isaac Hayes. Gotta Groove was their first with the new members and it stands as a testament to their resilience and talent. Highlights of the album include the psychedelic grooves of two-part song 'Don't Stop Dancing (To the Music)', the jazz-tinged soul of Marvin Gaye cover, 'If This World Were Mine', and instrumental renditions of The Beatles Yesterday' and 'Hey Jude'.
