 Tower Of Power Live And In Living Color 180 GRAM LP Audiophile Vinyl LP Mastered by Friday Music's Joe Reagoso From Original Warner Bros. Tapes!

For over four decades, Tower Of Power have been the one of the premier soul, funk and rock bands of our time. Captivating audiences all over the world, the mighty Bay Area ensemble continues to tour extensively and release great music as proven with their 1976 smash �Live And In Living Color.

Live And In Living Color reigns as one of the most notable live albums in funk history. With six super long jams from the pens of founders Emilio Castillo (alto sax/vocals) and Stephen Kupka (baritone sax/vocals), the LP did well on the r&b radio formats as well as rock and jazz outlets across the country. Especially with the incredible live version of their top charting smash "What Is Hip?" which is currently featured in the hit HBO TV show "Vinyl."

Further T.O.P. champions like Knock Yourself Out, Down To The Nightclub and the soulful ballad grooves of "You’re Still A Young Man� and Sparkling In The Sand made this album truly memorable.

Long time member David Garibaldi kicks out his awesome TOP drum sound on this masterwork, along with the incredible horn attack of Castillo and Kupka, with the late great Mic Gillette. Check out Chester Thompson's thrilling keyboard stylings along side the solid vocal artistry of Hubert Tubbs....truly a winning sound from these Oakland superstars.

Friday Music continues the Tower Of Power/Friday Music Original Master Series with their smash concert album �Live And In Living Color. Impeccably mastered from the Warner Bros. tapes by Joe Reagoso (Tower Of Power/The Isley Brothers). Also included are the original LP cover graphics to further enhance your Tower Of Power experience.

 Tower Of Power - Back To Oakland  180-gram vinyl LIMITED EDITION IMPORT LP

 

Back To Oakland is the fourth album by Bay Area based band Tower of Power, released in spring 1974. Tower of Power followed their self-titled gold album with (as said by many critics) an even better album. This record had tougher, funkier and better-produced cuts, stronger vocals from Lenny Williams (who was more comfortable as their lead singer), and included an excellent ballad in "Time Will Tell," and a rousing tempo in "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream)."

 

The Tower of Power horn section reaffirmed its reputation in both soul and pop circles. Back To Oakland was voted by Modern Drummer Magazine as one of the most important recordings for drummers to listen to.
