The Temprees - Lovemen (ALL-ANALOG) - VINYL LP

Produced by Josephine InchJoInch Bridges and signed to her We Produce imprint, The Temprees were a Memphis soul vocal trio powered by one of the great falsettos in pop music, that of Jasper InchJabboInch Phillips. Their 1972 debut Lovemen is aptly named; this is one of the greatest make-out R&B albums ever made, with one smoldering slow jam after another. Their take on InchDedicated to the One I LoveInch is rightly considered the greatest version ever made, but InchIf I Could Say What's on My Mind,Inch InchLove... Can Be So Wonderful,Inch and InchI Love You, You Love Me,Inch will get you and your partner's hips swaying (and patch up any lovers' quarrels tout suite, too). Stax didn't really know what to do with soul this sweet (We Produce was a Stax imprint), so Lovemen languished commercially, but nowadays it's recognized as a model of it's kind. For it's first-ever LP reissue, we've cut Lovemen ALL-ANALOG straight from the original two-track album master, and pressed it up on sonically superior valentine red PET plastic. The heart on the front cover sums this one up... ! Album Tracks 1. Explain It to Her Mama 2. If I Could Say What's on My Mind 3. (Girl) I Love You 4. I Love You, You Love Me 5. We've Only Just Begun 6. Dedicated to the One I Love 7. My Baby Love 8. I'm for You, You for Me 9. Love... Can Be So Wonderful

Debut 1969 album by New Orleans' The Meters. Led by organist Art Neville, the quartet was rounded out by jazz-influenced guitarist Leo Nocentelli, along with the bubbling rhythm section of bassist George Porter, Jr. And drummer Joseph InchZigabooInch Modeliste. Their regional influences were a smashing together of rock n' roll, syncopated 'second line' rhythms from Mardi Gras parades, and jazz improvisations that only could have come from the New Orleans music scene. The Meters helped move R&B music toward the heavier direction of funk-complicated rhythms meeting economically powerful riffs that were the wave of what was to come. Album Tracks 1. Cissy Strut 2. Here Comes the Meter Man 3. Cardova 4. Live Wire 5. Art 6. Sophisticated Cissy 7. Ease Back 8. 6V6 la 9. Sehorns Farm 10. Ann 11. Stormy 12. Simple Song

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The Meters is the debut studio album by the band of the same name. It is an essential album in the funk scene and one that contains a lot of energy and soul. Organist Art Neville led the quartet which consisted of guitarist Leo Nocentelli, the rhythm section of bassist George Porter and drummer Joseph 'Zigaboo' Modeliste. New Orleans funk in their beauty of simplicity, it's what makes this album so remarkable. Each and every song is brimming with hooks, melody and variety. Deep grooves on the single hit 'Cissy Strut' and guitar riffs echoing throughout 'Ease Back'. The Meters are considered the true originators of funk along with artists like James Brown.
