Two sweet instrumental funky gems – both great! "El Bobo" is a Latin-tinged number from fusion giant Webster Lewis – filled with great keyboards that soar out through the tune, ala Ramsey Lewis 70s electric – but with a much more complicated groove! On the flipside, the Spirit Of Atlanta deliver their answer to Curtis Mayfield – with a soaring groover that builds strongly, has a great organ so, and a very cool percussion breakdown too! 7-inch, Vinyl record

Ramsey takes on War – and the result is incredible! "Slipping Into Darkness" here is a great electric piano groover – served up with a spare and funky acoustic bassline that really drives the tune, and which gives Ramsey plenty of space for the keys! "Collage" has more of that great acoustic bass (thanks Cleveland Eaton!) – and builds with a spacey trippy groove that's one of Ramsey's best of the 70s! 7-inch, Vinyl record

One of the hardest soul hits of the 60s! The cut's got a rolling piano and bass groove that's simply sublime – made even better because the horns didn't show up for the session, so the vocals and piano carry all the grooves, making the track work harder than most of its contemporaries from the time! "Hello Stranger" is the group's version of Barbara Lewis' hit – originally produced by Ollie McLaughlin, who's working with the boys here, and done in a very different style than Barbara's version! 7-inch, Vinyl record
