An insane amount of work from the great
Clarence Reid – one of the secret heroes of the Miami funk scene of the 70s – in that he often spent a good deal of his time in the studio, helping out others – and not recording as many albums on his own! Yet during that time, working out of the TK Records studios,
Reid definitely managed to sling out plenty of funky 45s – most of which are brought together here in a massive package that finally gives
Clarence his due as a Miami soul legend! The set's got a massive 45 tracks in all – most titles that we'd only ever had as 7" singles over the years – and which run from
Reid's key late 60s years through some surprising 70s entries as well. Titles include "Real Woman", "Ruby", "Mr Smith's Wife", "Shake Your Butt", "Caution Love Ahead", "Baptize Me In Your Love", "Down The Road Of Love", "Masterpiece", "I've Been Trying", "Chicken Hawk", "Part Time Lover", "I'm Gonna Do Something Good To You", "Miss Hot Stuff", "Mr Hot Stuff", "You Knock Me Out", "You Got To Fight", "I'm A Man Of My Word", "Funky Party", "Winter Man", and the cut "Why Baby (parts 1 & 2)", done with Gloria!
