All 45’s are Quite Unknown To Most Collectors This one is (Not Even On YouTube) This 45’ release #078 is their 1st Single from the UTOPIA LP and by Far the Rarest!! A Cool Latin Lead with some Background Singing they All have Heavy Latin Accents Driven by a Slow Downtempo Bass Line but Heavy on the Organ and some nice Guitar plucking with a Little Fuzz Break.
Flip it Over For the B-Boy Funk Collectors and the Flip is an Insane 100 BPM Latin Funk Bomb!! -
I do not know the total Count Produced (possibly only 100-200 of these Singles?) but in my 25 yrs of Collecting and Un-Earthing The “Rare Sweet Soul Genre” I’ve only seen this one pop up 3 Times. Out of those 3 Times one of those was my old copy back in 2010 but Here is another one that I recently acquired and now finally willing to let go of….
RARITY- 8.4 out of 10
