the lab review

Peoples Potential coming through with one for the record heads AND the sports nerds! Ballplayers was a jam group started by Lenny Randle (ex-Mets player) and Thad Bosley (ex-White Sox) in the '80's. The two spent some of their Major League earings on studio time and put out 3 releases on Randle Enterprises (all of which are rare to come by). Now usually anytime a baseball (or any sport for that matter) player tries their hand at making music, the outcome is pretty damn awful (remember Deion Sanders' rap album? oyyy). But this is not the case with Ballplayers at all! The two put together truly outstanding tracks ranging from disco, soul, and even some leftfield electronic funk stuff. Check the soul on "American Worker(1)" (and those very relevant lyrics), the irresistable disco funk of "Universal Language(2)" and "Jam With Us(3)," and the cool out sounds of "Bos Music(4)." Small hole 45, with super cool pic sleeve. Recommended!
