This is an incredible recording, with a dynamic range that's truly outstanding—it's exactly what a MFSL record should be. It's just a notch below Crime of the Century in terms of MoFi releases for testing my system and for pure enjoyment.
Top-notch vinyl, Side 2 track 1 - incredible sound quality from one end to the other. Snag a copy!
Powerful People (1974)Pressing: 3Album: 5Total: 4After giving this album a few spins, I must say it's one of Gino Vannelli's finest works, even considering he was just a youngster when he created it.The pressing quality isn't a major concern, to be honest. The vinyl isn't particularly thick or flat, which is pretty standard for a 70s Mexican record. However, I did notice it's quite sibilant and not as robust as the B side, which I found to sound superior to the A side. If you come across a VG+ copy, don't hesitate to grab it. You should be able to find it for under 5 bucks. Now, let's talk about the music. Sure, Vannelli's lyrics aren't his strongest suit, but who needs them when you've got Joe Vannelli and Richard Baker in your band? These two pros gave Gino a powerful sound that's instantly recognizable, thanks to the absence of guitars and basses, replaced by Richard Baker's funky synth-bass (or organ-bass). The percussion and drums, handled by John Mandel and Graham Lear respectively, are top-notch. The standout tracks here are People Gotta Move, Powerful People, and Felicia, but the album has so much more to offer, like Lady, Son Of A New York Son, Jack Miraculous (which has a very 70s vibe), and Jo, Jo, a tribute to Jimmy Croce. It's a futuristic yet modern album from 1974 that still sounds incredible 45 years later. A huge leap from his debut album!
Awesome quality and dead silent. Stumbled upon a copy that appears brand new for just a buck at a Mesa, AZ thrift shop. The folks handling the vinyl records don't seem to get what MFSL stands for, or how much some records can be worth. Stores like Goodwill are always in a hurry, almost pushing employees to sell everything as quick as they can. They don't use eBay or discogs like they ought to. Goodwill just tosses stuff if it doesn't sell by a certain time. It all ends up in the garbage, and they won't even give it to other non-profits or donate it. They recycle hardly anything and are just plain greedy. Don't give them your support!
This record sounds absolutely amazing. It's another fantastic album that's often sold for a bargain because folks don't recognize its value. They're really missing out on something special.
