Brief Comments: Ultra rare one-off by this Baltimore Gospel Boogie Electro Funk group (featuring none other than "Brothers Johnson" Louis Johnson on bass! Catalyst's Eddie Green is playing keyboards, back-up vocals, synth bass - what happened I think, is someone with the sheet mistook David Diggs, who does player on "It's Just A Matter Of Time", as the main keyboardist, if you had the sheet in hand, it's easy to make that mistake, it's only in the very lower right hand corner does confer the three core members: Mike Thomas, Eddie Green, and Anthony Perry. Given Baltimore is an easy, under 2 hour drive from Philly, it wouldn't be no thing for Green to take a trip down. 
All tracks are originals, dope Neo-Soul / Modern Soul / Electro Boogie Funk / House Soul / Gospel Funk lp, wall to wall bangers (I will gladly refund 100% and keep the return, if you don't absolutely love it!), one of the toughest to let go of, interestingly it's on the Brentwood, California indie label "Fortress Records", has some AOR CCM Modern Soul and one other Gospel Boogie lp, one of the rarest on the label.....
It's recently gained traction as clips have surfaced, a top shelf one, that is only going to become harder to find. No reissue on any format.
Amazing Boom-Bap style open drum break using trap kit on intro for B3 is like the Cherry on top!!!
Peep the soundclips :)







*Tariffs aren't going to impact used vinyl records / music media, we wish they were never in place at all, so for international buyers, don't worry on that account! ***This is in regards to Political situation, for regular customs/duties, please message us first :)
For our record grading, we stand by the merits outlined in the scale below, anything VG or below will have a detailed explanation in brackets next to the grade.
For sleeves, we will mention anytime there is split, or defect not visible in the photos in brackets next to the grade, otherwise we refer to the photos for the merit of the grade. Of course any questions, concerns, are always welcome :) 
Our media grading scale is as follows: [*Quick note, our VPI is still in storage on the other side of the US, we do brush clean many  items carefully, but we have to prioritize, we won't leave anyone stranded with a filthy record, only "filthy" good! We don't factor dust particles into the grading]
NM = Essentially a pristine album, like new, rarely used.
EX = Under bright light if there is any scuffs or mark, which will be inaudible, most collectors and sellers would tend to consider it closer to NM, EX is also the grade others might call VG++ under the same level of conservative scrutiny.
VG+ = More then a small handful of scuffs, light marks, nothing feelable, will have high-gloss, a thoroughly enjoyable copy that may only have tiny moments of barely perceptible surface noise overpowered by the music. Our VG+ will satisfy the vast majority of collectors as a nice keeper copy, as collector's ourselves for nearly two decades, this grade is aimed to be a great keeper. Note if say the record has a light DNAP warp, but otherwise is NM, we will automatically put it to VG+ and detail that. Another scenario is if a copy plays at a solid EX, but visually is VG, the composite grade will be VG+, and detailed as such.
VG = More hairlines, more marks, maybe a few visible scratches, no more then two feelable scratches (which automatically lowers to VG-), there likely will be surface noise, but will play through, still being an enjoyable copy, the audio quality will satisfy most collector's (the golden rule: if it doesn't satisfy us, it won't be VG), if a record is otherwise EX, but has a slight momentary skip, where 99% of the record is EX, we will note that, and put it at VG. Usually will retain a nice gloss.
VG- = More Scratches than VG, surface noise will jump out more, it be overpowered for longer stretches, or compete with the music in places, it will likely play all the way through on most turntables, a copy that you can still get a decent play enjoyment from.
G+ = Lots of scratches, deeper ones, surface noise now mostly overpowers or competes with the music. It may skip in some places. We don't tend to sell G+ copies, unless the rarity is so great, and that will be precisely detailed.
Thrashed = Pretty much a "Theoretical Grade" for us, it be for all intents & purposes virtually unplayable, it would be for display purposes, or perhaps if you needed the cover but not the record. It's "theoretical" because so far we haven't sold or identified anything intended to sell at this bottom level.
