Description

Pop music history is littered with albums whose provocative covers promised something steamy and sensual inside but delivered a musical cold shower instead. This is not one of those albums. Fresh from arranging/conducting such Broadway shows as The Wiz and also forging a successful career penning jingles for such clients as McDonalds, Pan Am Airlines, Boones Farm Wines, Kool Aid, and Coca Cola, composer/keyboardist Wheeler released this 1975 cult classic, a soulful, slinky masterpiece of bedroom jazz-funk. Its Wheelers only album, but it may have been singly responsible for an increase in the mid-70s birth ratelight some candles and break out the lotion for this one.

First reissue in any format, finally available on its 50th anniversary in orange with black swirl vinyl limited to 750 copies.
