What are you listening to? Part III

[BotchQue]

Never heard of Don Blackman before; saw a glowing review of this album on some site, checked for CD availability and no I’m not gonna pay $177.00. Was on Tidal, and listening to it again for the third time today.
Recording quality is eh, vocal performances are eh, but the funk, omg. The way the bass and the drums play with, and against, each other, dayam! Guitarist fills in the blanks just right, too. Lovin’ it!

I just took a quick look on Discogs (discogs.com) and the asking prices there for CD releases are a lot lower. They’re all European and Japanese editions though…maybe he never sold enough vinyl albums Stateside to get his label to rerelease it in the US. On the other hand, Japanese records and discs tend to be much higher quality than their American counterparts.
