LTG EXCHANGE - MY LOVE DOES IT GOOD FOR ME (FANIA/WAND 1974)

I really don't know what it is about this record, but for the past two weeks its been a permanent fixture on my turntables - I've had this for almost a year now and it's just one that happened to pop up again this week when I was doing a flat tidy - I actually don't think I've listened to it since the day I purchased it.

Just thought I'd share it with you all - enjoy

- I think I might make "song of the week" a new feature on the site.

MIDNIGHT FLYER - MAKIN TRACKS - JOEL RECORDS (77) - JACK CONRAD

Midnight Flyer- I kept thinking Where have I heard that name before, I kept racking my brain and opening every vault of musical knowledge I had to remember why that name was bugging me so much. Then it dawned on me it was the name of an Eagles track and but not the actual name of  a band, good thing to because I would be surprised if the Eagles had anything to do with this album, not saying the Eagles weren’t geniuses in their own rights  - but this album is different level.


To be totally honest I don’ know to much of the band the record was released in 1977 by a small obscure label – Joel Records and the album was produced by Jack Conrad who featured with the artists from this album on previous work, some of which were apparently floor fillers in the early 70’s. The album is not rare   - I know that because my album number is 10885 and I’ve seen a few copies about on the web  but they cost of a pretty penny.


It’s a blue eyed soul / fusion album, think Tower of Power and Little Feat. It’s up there with my personal favourites and I don’t’ think I would do it enough justice, so I’d rather you go out and get a copy and decide yourself – it will surely be in demand soon.
