SURPRISE This is a pretty dang good LP

I had not seen that particular list, Dennis, but I reviewed it just now. I did agree with several of the listings that I have previously heard, but totally disagreed with several others (not the music so much as the sonics). As such, I'm not sure how much stock to place in it as a source for acquiring other LP's I have not yet heard. But, it IS comprised of the entries of "readers". As such, it is probably no different than the list being assembled here! :-O

I would love to see a lot of repsonses to this thread in the interest of opening up the possibilities for all to enjoy some good, and WELL RECORDED music that they might otherwise ignore. If someone posts a title or artist that "just ain't your bag", please, keep it to yourself. I hate threads that descend into "I don't like what you like so you are wrong and so I will disparage your taste in music" drivel. Thanks

Frank, you're entirely welcome and thanks to you, and others, for the return tips! This is how I am hoping this thread will continue. The "World is a Ghetto", kind of a funk/jazz/soul thing, is extremely well produced (deep, layered, and balanced) with War using a wide variety of instrumentation. Some of the tracks will really show how tight is your bass! I recall buying it new and mostly listening to the title track and "Cisco Kid", other tracks are also great, as I have found.

I was lucky to have scored twice last night in the "great music-great sonics" game, having also cleaned what is perhaps a polar opposite to the War LP:

Norman Blake: "Fields of November"; Flying Fish Records FF-004.

Have had this since 1975 and it just kinda got forgotten in a box. Amazing how much good music is buried in the grooves of so many similarly buried LP's.
