ALL MUSIC GUIDE review by Alex Henderson

During the disco era of the late '70s, didn't have as many major hits as he enjoyed in the 1950s, 1960s, and early '70s. But he was still coming up with some captivating funk grooves, and his late '70s output should not be ignored. Although 1976's falls short of essential, it's a focused, rewarding LP that has a lot going for it. The title song, a sweaty funk gem, became a hit, and almost as appealing are "I Refuse to Lose" and "Can't Take It With You." These tracks follow the funk principle that perfected in the 1960s: find an addictive groove and work it to death. Meanwhile, the romantic "You Took My Heart" is closer to smooth northern soul than the type of raw southern-style soul is best known for. And "Home Again" is a 12-bar blues number with jazz leanings; the tune would have been perfect for a session. Again, this LP isn't quite essential, but it's easily recommended to seasoned fans.

OF COURSE I COMBINE AUCTIONS FOR THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE SHIPPING

NM (Near Mint): Record and/or cover appear virtually unmarked.

VG++: A hair under near mint may have just a very few visual marks that should not affect sound.

VG+ : Used but not abused. Should have only very slight if any audible imperfections.

VG : Many only surface lines or may have 1 or more small scratches .Background sound but still very enjoyable. Cover defects will be noted.

VG-: significant background sound from various defects but music always quite audible above it. Cover has some damage that will be noted.



HOW I PACK LPs FOR SHIPPING
To keep the price of international shipping of 1 LP at $15.00 I don’t charge for packaging costs but I need to keep the weight within 1lb. I use professional Lp mailers & in addition I usually use a light but hard foam stiffener. Sometimes I will use 1 piece of cardbord. I take the record out of the jacket if there is a possibility it might split.  I don't recall ever having any problems shipping this way. If you would like me to ship differently you must contact me before you pay so I can invoice you for any extras costs.

100% ACCURACY IN GRADING RECORDS IS A JOB FOR SUPERMAN!

At times defects will show up differently on different players.  For instance,

depending on the weight that a tone arm is set at or the quality of the stylus

what is just a pop on one player can sometimes be a skip on another

SO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, BEFORE RATING ME ,

PLEASE CONTACT ME & LET ME TRY & FIX IT
