About this product
Operating in a basement studio at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, pipeline man Howard Neal and his appropriately named Shoestring tag was Alton, Illinois' answer to a question no one asked. Pressed in minuscule numbers and barely outside the 62002 zip code, the singles by The James Family, Jimmie Green, Pete & Cheez, and Carletta Sue are prime examples of cosmic midwestern disco in search of a break. This heavy weight 10-song LP is housed in a tip-on sleeve, and includes an essay and imagery that complete the picture of this pure expression of small-town soul. Album Tracks 1. We've Got It Made 2. Let Yourself Go 3. You and Me 4. A Broken Heart Will Mend 5. Disco Fever 6. Dance (Part 1) 7. So Smooth 8. You Keep Holding Back on Love 9. I Need You So 10. You're All the Woman I Need 11.
