"I'm Free" to fly high on "Magic Mountain" as part of the "Unhooked Generation." Since I felt guilty, I proceeded to a "General Confessional" after which I could see the "Handwriting on the Wall." After some contemplation, I left for the local circus and saw "Leroy the Magician," but I while there, I got some nasty "Red Clay" stuck on my shoes.
Quote: Different cover but this album. One thing that jazz will always have on rock -- all-star teams. Not a whole lot f*cking with this line-up.
An all-time fave, that one. If I'm ever asked to recommend a few starter records for someone who's getting into jazz for the first time, this is always on the list.
Quote: while I was getting my oil changed i went next door to a thift spot and I found "Raze: break for love". So cheesy, but damn I like it. What's the history of this record?
Just one of those late 80's rave era tunes that crossed over to the pop charts in the UK, and became a bit of a club classic over here in the process. Pretty sure it was Vaughan Mason (of Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll) who was behind it, so it probably came out of NJ rather than Chicago or NYC. There was a female answer record to it by Razette called Ready 4 Love, which I used to have at one point. I never played it out much, but I seem to remember one of the dubs being pretty useful.
i actually have a bluegrass 45 on this same label (Starr Records)
Quote: HEADSTONE (Columbus, OH)
"Still Looking" 1974 (Starr slp-1056) "Still Looking" 1988 (Starr) [bootleg] -- this is a very close counterfeit. The color of the carton inside the cover is clear gray on the original and more brownish on the reissue. The label of the original is slightly clearer and has visible circular lines. "Still Looking" 1997 (CD Anthology, Italy)
The opening seven minute title track is a killer journey through local underground guitar psych, and there's plenty more good stuff aboard including some more lyrical moves. Underrated LP, solid all through, better than many $1000 LPs. Great generic sleeve of eagle "still looking". The band also had three non-LP 45s which are pretty good. [PL] ~~~ Ohio was full of obscure hard rock bands in the 70s, and it’s surprising how many of their self-released albums have stood the test of time. Despite relatively simple songs, this album has real power. The long title track is the highlight, but the rest of the album comes close to the standard. The songs carry on a bit too long, but the solid guitar/organ sound is backed up by an energetic rhythm section and the overall feel of this album is strong, and gets better with repeated listens. They don’t seem like they were particularly talented, but they made the most of what they had. [AM]

Thanks Don, that's exactly why I grabbed it because of the Vaughn Mason connection. I guess it's also on the soundtrack to those grand theft auto games just like that Oliver Cheatham joint
It's time to set yo' clock back bout as long as you can I stop daylight--it's Ludacris the maintenance man Get your oil changed, I check fluids and transmission You one minute FOOLS, you wonder why y'all missin'

And pop singer Sidney Youngblood sampled it for his terrible '89 hit "If Only I Could":
That song was all over the radio and MTV Europe back then
Heh. Y'know, I have to admit I liked that Sidney Youngblood record for a bit, until it became hideously played-out. It kinda chimed in with the optimistic sentiment of the times back then; that Second Summer Of Love period when people discovered ecstasy in a big way, and the clubs were full of football hooligans who, instead of starting fights, were hugging one another and engaging in mass singalongs to the chorus.
