Soul Classics

CD (Item 650607) WDR, 2012 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
One of the funkier albums that Maceo Parker's cut in recent years – a set that's still done with his frequent partners the WDR Big Band, but handled with a much stronger emphasis on the soul roots promised in the title! The set hearkens back to Maceo's years with James Brown, and also reaches out to encompass some 70s soul too – and Parker handles both vocals and alto sax with a great raspy edge, one that really offsets the tighter backings by the band. The crowd is nicely unbridled too – helping give the set a frenzy we're not used to hearing from WDR performances – and Christian McBride has a key role in the set on bass. Titles include "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag", "I Wish", "Higher Ground", "Do Your Thing", "Rock Steady", "Soul Power", and "Come By & See".  © 1996-2025, 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 CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, 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.
