THELMA HOUSTON & PRESSURE COOKER

I've Got the Music In Me



A DIRECT TO DISC RECORDING*
"Ain't got no trouble in my life, No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried, I know I'll always get by

I heat up (heat up), I cool down (cool down), When something gets in my way, I go 'round it
Don't let life get me down, Gonna take it the way that I found it
I got the music in me..."

These are the opening words to Kiki Dee's masterpiece incredibly orated by one of the most powerful voiced in R&B and pop music, Thelma Houston. NO ONE better exemplifies those words "I've got the music in me" than Thelma Houston!

I cannot tell you how many copies of this album we wore out!

It was one of Sheffield Lab's first releases (Lab 2) and our store (see below) had never heard anything like this before! The dynamics of her voice and backup band, set directly to the disk blew the hell our of anything we'd ever heard, and it quickly became one of our GO-TO albums for demonstration.

You'd think we'd get sick of it as many times as we used it... never happened! To this day, it remains one of my favorite albums of all time!

Vocals, Thelma Houston, Morgan Ames, Jim Gilstrap, Myrna Matthews, Marti McCall, Lisa Roberts, Jacki Ward.

Recorded Live from the Studio to the Master Disc!

WHAT IS A DIRECT TO DISC RECORDING? - Direct-to-disc recording refers to sound recording methods that bypass the use of magnetic tape recording and record audio directly onto analog disc masters. Direct-to-disc recording is results in a more accurate, less noisy recording through the elimination of up to four generations of master tapes, overdubs, and mix downs from multi-tracked masters bypassing problems inherent in analog recordings caused by tape hiss.

A NOTE ABOUT ME: I used to own and operate a high-end Audio Salon in the 80s/90s located in Pasadena, CA for over 12 years. We had a retail store, but were also a manufacturer of Ultra High-End Loudspeakers. I never lost my appetite for High Fidelity audio. UNLESS STATED, most of the audio equipment and music I sell comes from my personal collection or stuff I've purchased but never got around to using. I am pretty picky about what I own so if it was good enough for me, you'll most likely be ecstatic with your purchase. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything I know about this item is in this description.

ABOUT THIS COPY: There is NOTHING more dynamic than a Direct to Disc Recording, and this is by far one of THE most dynamic in history! This copy is one of the last demonstration copies we used on our $8000 turntables and I took it home when I sold the business. It is clean and exhibits a minute amount of surface noise but truly minor. The album in an acid-free jacket protector, and a rice-paper inner sleeve. I have ONE other copy available for a bit more that has not been played and the jacket is pristine as the day it was issued. Use the link below to find that one if you want it (assuming it's still available!)


Here is another of my RARE vinyl offerings! This is a fine collectible copy and will be shipped in a genuine record-mailer with plenty of packing, insured against loss or damage. I am listing more and more every day... with over 10,000 albums in my home, it would take me until the year 2099 to listen to them all. I'm now 71... don't think I'll make it so something's gotta give!

Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on...

GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded!

IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.

Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options.

Since I am a legitimate business, California deliveries will require sales tax.
