Vinyl LP pressing. 'Do it Together', takes the listener on a cosmic trip filled with groove and optimism guided through aural landscapes. Imagine the Toronto Yonge Street strip in the 70s. Flares, arcades, neon, cinema, record shops - grit and funk. Yet modern beats and rich rhythm infuse each track to lift you up and get you moving. From the first note played on 'Raise a Glass', the band switches on their classic Motivators mode hard-hitting, clav-heavy harmonic, smooth horn line, a timeless deep funk track. Next up, 'Power' pushes the TSM sound to new celestial limits - Interstellar synths and drum n' bass inspired breakbeats are mediated by Shahi Teruko's ethereal vocals with the fire and passion of Bettye Lavette and tight rhythm of The JB's.

Vinyl LP pressing. Commodores is the self-titled fifth studio album by the Commodores, released in 1977. The album included massive Top 5 singles such as 'Brick House' and 'Easy', moving the band into the pop mainstream. The band employed a variety of musical styles for the album, highlighted by the popular anthem InchBrick HouseInch. With Walter Orange's squeaking/growling voice on the lead, and Ronald LaPread's roundtone bassline, this track peaked on the U.S. Hot 100 at #5, and the U.S. R&B Chart at #4. As their second single, InchBrick HouseInch helped to propel the Commodores into the spotlight as a leading R&B act. In contrast to InchBrick HouseInch, InchEasyInch is a pop-soul ballad with mellow vocals by Lionel Richie with a Southern country twist.
