Description

This great item is the original 1975 Island Records release of the fantastically funky album from Betty Davis, 'Nasty Gal'. Coming complete with the original lyric inner,
it is in, as can be seen, fantastic condition, looking as if carefully and rarely played and well stored - the cover is clean and bright with only slight wear and I can see no damage at all to the playing surface of the record. I've been buying and selling vinyl for over thirty-five years and I try hard to describe items accurately - my 4.9 detailed seller rating on 'Item Description' shows I usually achieve this. I see another copy of thiscurrently listed with a chunk missing from the sleeve from a price sticker and the sleeve is graded as VG+! This is a great album in great condition, better than the copy I own - I was tempted to swop it with mine but, after twenty years, I'm attached to the copy I've got and would miss the clicks and pops.

"Not only was Betty Davis the sexiest woman who ever walked this planet, she released several of the greatest funk albums ever produced. Those who know of her usually just think of her as a model who was married to Miles Davis for a year. But she was much, much more than just a mere footnote in the bio of the greatest jazz musician ever.

First of all, I think it's fair to say that Betty Davis was responsible for the development of jazz fusion. Why? Because when Miles Davis fell under the spell of this woman (and what man wouldn't?), she made it her mission to turn him onto the new funk & soul music that was revolutionizing America. She hipped him up to the new sounds and the new fashions, and Miles responded with a creative burst that cemented his rep as the greatest jazz innovator in history. He combined his jazz with her funk and out came jazz fusion.

Well, the marriage ended, but Betty set out to prove her own musical genius, and she did it with a series of albums that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the greatest funk albums ever. She enlisted the aid of the best musicians and let the nastiness flow out of her.

This album, like the others, features her snarling, vicious vocals which sound like nothing so much as a wildcat in heat. It is a primal force of sexuality that is unequalled in musical history. Her vocals are sex incarnate. DIrty, raw, sweaty, up-against-the-wall sex. James Brown sounds like s schoolboy in comparison. Marvin Gaye would be intimidated. Chaka Khan would bow down."

It would be a great addition to any record collection.
