That's The Way It Should Be

CD (Item 578337) Columbia, 1994 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
A surprising mid 90s comeback for Booker T & The MGs – a session that reunites Booker T on Hammond, Steve Cropper on guitar, and Donald Duck Dunn on bass – with additional drums from either Steve Jordan or James Gadson! The sound is somewhat in the classic Stax mode of years back – in that most tracks are spare instrumentals with lots of lines from the organ and guitar – spun out over rhythms that are never too complicated, and which have the stepping soul instrumental quality of the Memphis scene from years back. But the sound is also somewhat different too – produced with a bit more "room" than in the Stax days, and with a sound on the organ that's not as low-end as before – a bit brighter overall. Still, the record's a lot better than you might expect for the time – a nicely restrained effort that tries to hearken back to the old days. Titles include "I Can't Stand The Rain", "Camel Ride", "Let's Wait Awhile", "Gotta Serve Somebody", "Slip Slidin", "Mo Greens", and "Just My Imagination".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

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.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Soul Dressing
Atlantic, 1965. Used
A great little record from Booker T and group – often overlooked amidst the range between Green Onions and Melting Pot, but a very strong album of soulful Memphis instrumentals all the way through! Book's organ is bubbling hot, and the band's tight rhythm style works in a perfect laid-back ... CD

Blue-eyed soul from Boz Scaggs, with a decidedly Philly influenced sound to the production, which we'd hazard a guess comes more from the Hall & Oates side of town than the Sigma Sound axis. Still, this is a solid album with the irresistible hit "Lowdown", still a favorite around ... CD

Give Me The Reason
Columbia/Epic, 1986. Used
Luther Vandross at the top of his game – sitting right at the height of that crossover space in soul he virtually owned back in the mid 80s! The work here is certainly more commercial than Vandross albums of the past, but the soul is no less deep – thanks to Luther's amazing vocal ... CD

An insanely wonderful album! Shuggie Otis is the son of Johnny Otis – the LA R&B maestro who was moving heavily into funk at the end of the 60s – and he has this tripped out, super-dope guitar style that he played to strong effect on Johnny's albums of the late 60s and early 70s, ... CD

A funky trip through the classic Warner Brothers recordings of P-Funk maestro Bootsy Collins!

There's a total of 14 tracks, ... CD
