Very rare original of this great soul funk record in fantastic near mint shape.
Here’s a review from Soul Strut:
This record should be in everyone’s collection. It’s Kool & The Gang at their best. Soul, jazz and funk all mixed together in some of the best instrumentals you’ll hear such as Kool & The Gang, Breeze & Soul, Kools Back Again, Gangs Back Again, Raw Hamburger and Chocolate Buttermilk, Givt It Up, and Let The Music Take Your Mind with their drum breaks.
Kool & The Gang's story starts in the Jersey City projects. They were teenagers, studying Miles Davis albums and James Brown singles, jamming in basements, partying for the people in a swirl of Black consciousness. In 1969 they made their first record. Still teenagers, and full of confidence, they named that first record after themselves. Their confidence and creativity produced a string of loose-but-tight, "fun" records, culminating in the Pop Chart smash Jungle Boogie. Kool & The Gang didn't need a singer then: the horns were the lead voice; the fans chanted along. Their songs were featured in films like Rocky and Saturday Night Fever.
