Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse (Label M pressing)

Add to Cart$7.99 ... CD
List Price: 11.98
CD (Item 21192) Atlantic/Label M, 1971 -- Condition: New Copy

A monster album that's gone onto influence a generation -- but which was barely recognized at the time! Singer Eugene McDaniels had scored big with some pop hits in the 60s under the name Gene McDaniels -- but here, he steps out in a righteous batch of offbeat funk tunes -- filled with politics, offbeat rhythms, and some very weird instrumentation. The whole thing's awash in moody, jazzy changes -- of the style that showed up often in samples by Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, and other artists who drew keen inspiration from this record. Titles include the massive "Jagger the Dagger" -- plus "The Lord Is Back", "Lovin Man", "Headless Heroes", "Freedom Death Dance", and "Supermarket Blues". (CD case has a small cut out notch -- but these babies are now out of print, these copies are the last ones we'll get!)  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
