A landmark LP of guitar-based funk! Dennis Coffey had been playing, arranging, and producing all over the Detroit soul scene by the time this album came out -- so it wasn't like he really needed a hit to get paid or anything -- but the record forever marked him as a guitar player to be reckoned with, and it was a perfect showcase for Coffey's fuzzed-out funky style, instantly recognizable and still extremely popular today! The album contains the monster breakbeat cut "Scorpio" -- kind of a seminal text of hip hop -- plus plenty of other groovers like "Getting It On", "Garden Of The Moon", "Big City Funk", and "Sad Angel".

Haven't seen this one in the blogosphere yet, only in my vinyl collection. thanks for your time and your work. it is often a thankless job but you've posted some great stuff and deserve thanks.
Thanks for the Dennis Coffey. I know it's hard work. And for damn sure time consuming. Hang tough. It's appreicated.
Cheers for all the tunes man. Things dont go unappreciated round my way. You've got some sick selections . . .
Thanks for this one SD. I've heard some of his other stuff, which I was really impressed with. Looking forward to this one. Much Appreciated

It's allways the same: Some people do a great hard job and some others are nothing else than silent leechers. You can choose any blog you want, you always find the same behaviour of some realy stoopid people. Anyway, tha DC post is awesome, thank you so much for this gem.
Keep on doing waht you're doing!
I'll just leave a comment instead of downloading to equalize a little!!
Thanks a lot and come around,

Love the Coffey.... thanks for the hard work.... its really appreciated....
fuzzed out and funky is definitely the way to describe this album. i also have a copy of an album that Vampi Soul reissued last year that's also pretty bad ass. thanks again!

it appears "sad angel" is corrupted or was ripped all funky (and not the good kinda funky).
