BLACK NASTY – TALKING TO THE PEOPLE – 1973 US PRESS – ENTERPRISE ENS-1031
THIS IS THE AUTHENTIC, U.S. PRESSING FROM 1973.
Like Rare Earth and early Funkadelic, Black Nasty took a very rock-minded approach to Detroit soul and funk -- probably too rock-minded for many program directors at black radio. And at the same time, Black Nasty was too funky and soul-oriented for FM rock radio. So Black Nasty fell through the cracks in the early to mid-'70s, although it enjoyed some commercial success after evolving into the ADC Band and recording the major funk hit of 1978, "Long Stroke." The band's only album as Black Nasty, Talking to the People, was a commercial disappointment but a creative triumph. Those who savored the Motor City funk/rock experiments of Rare Earth and early Funkadelic will find a lot to admire about gritty, hard-edged smokers like "Nasty Soul," "Getting Funky Round Here," and the single "Black Nasty Boogie" (which brings to mind John Lee Hooker's work with Canned Heat). To its credit, Black Nasty has no problem turning around and providing silky, mellow slow jams such as "Rushin' Sea" and "I Must Be in Love," both of which feature singer Audrey Matthews. It is Nasty's other lead singer, Terrance Ellis, who handles the more up-tempo gems.
VERY CLEAN VINYL. THERE ARE ONLY SOME VERY LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS. LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED OR USED AT ALL. THE COVER IS STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP AND IS VG+ FOR A HOLE PUNCH LOWER RIGHT.
