Skin Tight
LP (Item 19538) Stax, 1973 — Condition: Sealed
Related searches
The second Stax album by Skin Alley – and the one that was actually recorded in Memphis with some hip and soulful production by Don Nix! This set's even funkier than the group's first for Stax – and grooves around with a sound that's got more soul influences than some of the jazz rock sounds on the other album. Titles include "The Heap", which has a nice breakbeat on the intro, plus "Instrumental", which has a good wah wah sound, and some choppy funk grooves! Also includes "If I Only Had The Time", "At A Quarter To One", "Surprise Awakening", "Broken Eggs", "maverick Woman Blues", "What Good Does It Do?" and "Mr Heavy". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Sealed original US pressing! Cover has a small cutout hole.)
Sealed
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Jack Bruce
Harmony RowAtco, 1971. Very Good Gatefold
A surprisingly wonderful solo album from Jack Bruce – one that's got a tighter approach to the songwriting, and done in a strange jazz-rock-folk style that at times recalls the early work of Roy Wood, or some of the later work of Tim Hardin. The album's got a strangely personal feel – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Soul MachineCTI/A&M, 1968. Very Good Gatefold
A great soul album from the CTI years on A&M, and one of the few soul records ever on CTI! Barbary's got this spacey vocal style that's really great – not really falsetto soul, but kind of a tenor with a soft emotive quality. Arrangements by Artie Butler and Horace Ott give his voice a ...
