$

405

ARTIST / TITLE : BOBBY BOYD CONGRESS "STRAIGHT AHEAD / IN A STRANGE STRANGE LAND"

LABEL : OKAPI (promo)

CONDITION (Record/Cover) : EX/EX

COMMENT : Ultra rare original promo copy of this deep soul funk session, featuring participation of Lafayette Afro rock Band members, recorded in France in 1971. This single contains the best tracks of the album, including the one with the supa heavy funky break ; and at my knowledge, it was pressed as promo pressing only.  From my experience, it is rarer than the lp which i have seen more during these last 15 years. A true world class one, definitely among the best in this genre !!

Audio sample here (recorded from the vinyl currently auctioned)

Side A : Straight ahead

Side B : In a strange strange land

LINE UP : Bobby Boyd (tenor sax,lead vocals),  Jerry Joe Beatty (alto sax),  Ronnie Buttacavoli (trumpet),  Arthur Grayson Young (trumpet),  Diana Olverton (lead vocals),  Frank Abel (organ),  Lawrence Jones (lead guitar),  Laffayette Hudson (bass),  Perry Smith (drums)
