DO NOT BUY THIS CD IF...

"...you are like me and wanted the "I Like What I Like" cut. When I wrote my pervious review you could preview the tracks. The track that I previewed on the site was the original track from the original album.



The CD I received DID NOT have the original "I like what I like" track even though that's what the web site had in the preview. It had a very lame and shortened version without all the orchestration from the original album track.



The impression that you get is that the group found themselves running out of money and decided to rerecord this piece of garbage.



It's interesting that Amazon no longer allows you to preview the tracks on the CD. False advertising?



It's too bad there's no choice for zero stars.

Solid funk album.

"This is a little known band from Canada in the early '70s. They were on the same label with Kool and the Gang, and in fact they cover 'Who's Gonna Take The Weight' on this album. Otherwise this CD is pretty much in the vein of the Kool and the Gang recordings of the same era (Live at the Sex Machine, Live at PJs), with a somewhat shabbier musicianship. Don't let this scare you away though, they still rock hard, with some great grooves and some b3 lurking in the background on nearly every song.Highlights: 'Funky Granny', 'Funky Gene-ra-tion' and the instrumental 'Mama Said-Papa Said (Too Young To Marry)'."

"The cut "I Like What I Like" is worth the price of the CD in my opinion. We used to dance to this at "The Bakery" in Niagara Falls NY way back in my youth and I bought it again just to bring back the memories."
