Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A smooth, socially conscious funk-soul peak of Latin and jazz textures. Groovy and warm. A 70s favourite. One album from this artist, and worth seeking out.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
