When She Made Me Promise
Soul / funk band from the Bahamas that ventured into high powered horn rock territory while keeping their campy Caribbean edge. The title track was a massive hit in the early 70s and was immortalized by a few notable cover versions (see Ray Munnings' disco version). The 45 is an easy find, but their LP is a lot more elusive and worth seaking out. 1971's Funky Nassau, while short, is an enjoyable, rhythmic experience. For whatever reason, the band failed to cash in on a follow-up until the mid 70s. Their 1976 self-titled release sunk like a stone and became a subject of crate digger's lore in the 90s and 00s.
This reissue LP is brand new but not sealed.
