It must've been really exciting to discover this music, the long lost tapes of Texas schoolteacher Leon Mitcheson. It's slightly less so for us on the other end of the experience, dropping the needle on this reissue or clicking the hyperlink and waiting for Real Audio to load up. So, although "Love Is(1)" won't shatter your world, it remains a solid and thoroughly unknown high octane funk jam that borders but never dissolves into disco. There's an instrumental on the b-side of the twelve-inch, in case you'd prefer your entree without garnish.
