TITLE: Collage
ARTIST: Eddie Drennon & B.B.S. Unlimited
LABEL: Friends & Co. (US) and ALTA (Canada)


This is one of those records that you never get sick of and basically has a lit bit of everything on here: Sweet soul vocals, fat basslines, hard bouncy drums and lush strings! An early disco LP from 75', so the tempo is more laid back and the funk is still present. Main vocals are by Esther Williams who is more famous for her 1976 solo LP "Let Me Show You" (also on Friends & Co.) and of course her underground B-Boy classic "Last Night Changed It All (I Really Had A Ball)". Personally, I think this is one of the best records of all time and alot of people aren't up on it so you can still catch it without have to pay a fortune. Contains the ill "Do What You Gotta Do" that Jazzy Jay used to cut up.
