Description
O'Donel Levy Breeding Of The Mind
Cover: VG+ (light wear)
Record: VG+ (light paper scuffs)
Wonderfully baroque funk from the great O'Donel Levy! The album's got some very cool arrangements by Manny Albam that mix together strings and funk -- in a super-dope way that sounds a lot like the work coming out of Cadet during the late 60s -- and the rest of the set features Levy playing with a smaller group, one that includes Chester Thompson on drums and Charles Covington on organ. The approach is great on both types of sets -- complicatedly funky, in a way that's held up incredibly well over the years -- and which warrants greater discovery of Levy's work from the time. The album's got covers of "We've Only Just Begun", "Let's Stay Together" and "It's Too Late" -- plus some groovy originals like "Cherries", "The Chocolate Horse", "Ideal", and "Breeding of Mind".

GRADING:NM: Looks unplayed or perhaps played once or twice.
EX: Very light surface marks often from the inner sleeve that do not affect play. Perhaps a very light tick or brief moment of barely audible surface noise at the very worst. Overall a very clean record.
VG+: Light surface noise during a quiet moment or two. Might play with a few light pops here and there but nothing sustained over more than a few seconds.
VG: Surface noise is more pronounced or more frequent than in a VG+ record, but never skips or overtakes the music. Might play with some light pops or ticks for a minute or two at a time. Still an enjoyable listen.
VG-: A filler copy. Will play with louder pops or ticks than a VG record and surface noise might compete with the music during the quieter moments.
