Now here's a release i can get behind. A unique, one-off production from Roy Ayers and featuring the lush vocal talents of Susan Beaubian, Marva Hicks, Vivian Prince, Denie Corbett and Sylvia Striplin, the Ladies of the Eighties LP is pure soul-funk-boogie genius. Originally released in 1980 and featuring an amazing all-star Roy Ayers band, including my main man Rick James (who also contributes to the production), this is a super smooth selection of tracks that ooze late seventies funk charm whilst hinting at what was to come for funk in 80's. With original copies fetching ridiculous super dollar on the shady second hand market you'd be a fool not to grab this deluxe Soul jazz re-press while it's still available. Damn, this is fine!
• Soul Jazz Records are re-issuing this remastered album in its entirety with original artwork, on special edition CD and deluxe heavyweight card packaged gatefold vinyl.
•This amazing one-off album produced by Roy Ayers featured the group Eighties Ladies, made up of the singing talents of Susan Beaubian, Marva Hicks, Vivian Prince, Denie Corbett and Sylvia Striplin, backed by an all-star Roy Ayers band (including Rick James who shares the production).
The anthemic ‘Turned On To You’ and ‘Ladies Of The Eighties’ are both included in this absolutely classic boogie-funk-jazz-soul album, loved by soul boys and jazz heads alike, and one of the rarest of all classic boogie albums, with original copies fetching upwards of hundreds of pounds for many years now.
