5.0 out of 5 stars Funk n' Roll Classic from 1975, May 9, 2002

This review is from: Check Mate (Audio CD)

This album was originally released in 1975 in the U.S as
"Heart OF The City". The sleeve was different too. But the tracklist is the same. The album contains the semi instrumental funk/disco/jazz classic "Mellow Blow" which became the first ever 12" Single. This band from Spain became one of the most influential funk bands ever. This album is one of their best, with the Waters on backing vocals and Joe Tejada as the masculine
hairy chested lead singer. The album has energetic numbers like "Take a Wild Ride".
