Few Useful Tips About Living Underground

A unique little album from organist James Taylor – proof that he was always changing things up in pursuit of a groove! The set has Taylor moving past some of the warmer, more soulful modes of some of his other 90s work – hitting a vibe that's still plenty darn funky, but which moves his organ more in the direction of Brian Auger than the Johnny Hammond lines he'd hit on his few previous records! The sound is quite majestic at times – Hammond pushing forward alongside guitars, driven by cosmic rhythms that move way past the mod soul of James' early years, pushing into the stratosphere with a great deal of power. Taylor's work on the keys is sublime throughout – possibly even more impressive in this setting than ever before, given the dexterity required to keep up with the rhythms – and the production is wonderful, and really makes the album come across like some of Auger's best work of the early 70s. There's no vocals at all – and titles include "Selectivity", "Summer Fantasy", "Don't Let Money Be Your God", "Serenity", "Theme From Dirty Harry", and "It's Your World".  © 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.
