Description
This is one of the rarest records you will ever find in this condition. In 1974 a guy from Xenia, Ohio named Joe "Jody" Parsley went to a recording studio in Columbus and recorded these two songs. He released the record under the name "Jody and the Individuals." They recorded two tracks: "Hooked" and "Soul Streak." They pressed a thousand copies. From what I have seen in rarity discussions on-line a number of the records had slight lip warps. This one does but the record plays great.
Jody and the Individuals were ahead of their time. Rappers were a thing of the future so Joe's rapping on the track "Soul Streak" is proto-rap and he was one of the first. If you do a Google search for "Jody and the Individuals" you'll find a newspaper article about the making of this record and the artist that appeared in the Springfield (Ohio) News-Sun in 2012.
Joe died a couple of years ago. This record was owned by a guy who had a bar in Springfield (Ohio) with a jukebox. He listened to the record and must have thought it was too weird for his crowd so he filed it away. When he died I found it among some records I bought from his widow. That's why it is in such lovely condition. I'm calling it EXCELLENT. The label is in fine condition, too.
