This killer album, featuring the ultimate jazzy funk track "Windy C," one of the rare grooves, is now available as a long-awaited LP reissue! It's the only album by the legendary nine-piece big band 100% PURE POISON, known for their soulful and funky groove.
Although it was only released in the UK in 1974, it gained worldwide acclaim as part of the rare groove movement of the 1980s and continues to be highly valued by collectors around the world.
The opening track, "You Keep Coming Back," is a soulful track centered around a refreshing vocal that seems to soar endlessly. The horn section complements the track beautifully, and the handclaps at the end make everyone happy—a song that truly signals the beginning of a party. The following track, "No More City, No More Country," features a funky guitar riff that invites dancing, and the mid-song transition from a female chorus to a trumpet solo is irresistible. "Windy C," the first track on side B of the record, features a dramatic development, with dialogue-like vocals intertwined with Danny Leake's powerful guitar and Steve Maxwell's soothing organ, making it appealing to a wide range of rock fans, even those outside of soul and funk. The album offers a well-balanced mix of soulful, comfortable tracks and upbeat, funk-infused dance-inducing tracks.
