My copy shows « R130099-A » and « R130099-B » on respectively A and B-sides with the sentence « RCA Music Service Edition » on both sides, on top part of the label, between the WB logo and the title of the album. Matrix run-out almost impossible to read but seems to be R1300000 . Can someone help me to define this version? -
Edited one year agoAlbum Revolution #3:
After two foot stomping albums, "Larry Graham" and his "Graham Central Station" released "Ain't No 'Bout-A-Doubt It"...
Now, even though I put this in the Album Revolution, this is a little step down from the other albums (just a little bit)....
The group starts the album off blazing with "The Jam" (the Ultimate Crown Jewel)....Once again, taking a page from his former bandleader "Sly Stone", "Larry" allows each member to shine, with introducing themselves before they display their solos, before "Mr. Graham" just takes over to blaze the track into an inferno!!!!
The 2nd Crown Jewel, "Your Love", shows a softer side to the band...It may sound a little corky compared to most smooth R&B songs, but it didn't stop it from becoming a #1 R&B hit....
"It's Alright", the 3rd Crown Jewel, is another "Funk Blaze Track", with so much energy, it would light up a city block (I personally would have switched this song, being no.2, then have "Your Love" be no.3).....
Most people didn't like their rendition of "Ann Peeples" "I Can't Stand The Rain" (4th Crown Jewel), but I love it!!!! I personally think that "Ms. Chocolate" laid it out!!! Now don't get it twisted, I didn't say it was close to "Ann's" version, but I believe it was still very good....
Now the reason for the step down....Side 2 was not as strong as the 1st side....
"It Ain't Nothing But A Warner Bros. Party", even though I can't prove it, feels like the Record Company force them to do this one...
"Ole Smokey" and "Easy Rider" are ok, but not really with ummph!!!!!
Now the last 2 ts in "Water" (not to be confused with "Rose Royce's" version) and "Luckiest People" are not bad at all, and at least helped end the album on a good note....
I will say with its flaws, this is still an essential album...With that being said, if you get your hands on this one, buy it, it's soooooo worth it!!!!!!!! -
Serious funk. Side one features The Jam and I Can't Stand the Rain, both of which have famous covers/adaptations by other artists. Side two has filler tunes for the sake of the contract, but kills it on Water.
