The second best thing about it: It's one of those all killer records that you can enjoy from start to finish. Even the only ballad on the album (Things Change) coming after the atomic-energy-jam M&Ms is a treat! Being obsessed with this one for 33 years now I can tell you it really stands the test of time.  Unfortunately it's seldom seen on this here shores of the Atlantic.

I have been dancing to this MASTERPIECE half of my teen age and ever since. Charles Wright took James Brown's joy of improving a step further as he was less of a maniac and a bit more relaxed. You can hear him enjoying what he does every damn second, even when he's getting mad at mom. The whole album is a blast but let me pick out That's All That Matters Baby, please. I heard it first on a trip to Hamburg when I was probably 15. We went down the stairs into the legendary soulkitchen and only minutes after entering the DJ put this on at prime time after a really stomping tune (I don't remember that one). ALL lights were dimmed to the max and everybody in the room felt the magic. Goosebumps! One day I will recreate that moment ;) You wanna try too? THis copy has the seldom seen insert...

Psychedelic Soul with a strong message and kind of a Stooges roughness,

might actually define the genre/file under with the fuzz guitar and heavy acid vibes throughout.

It is a proper masterpiece ahead of it's time and it has more cowbell than most ;) Tick Tock!

There are a few tracks on the album that are closer to the soul.

Of which I want to mention the fluffy Uptown that describes Harlem

as the "land of the free" for young Afro-Americans sick of racial oppression.
