100% Pure Poison
‘Coming Right At You’ LP, P-Vine Japan
1400 THB
The sole album released in 1974 from this almighty group of nine musicians lead by Chicago native Danny Leake continues to turn up in the hands of the most determined collectors for good reason. Formed in the most unlikely of circumstances as a group of American military workers stationed in Germany, the band made one dazzling leap onto the frontline of soul before promptly disbanding and never looking back. As with all records that get marked with the coveted 'rare' status, what we don't know about the record outweighs what we do, but as the needle fits the groove on album opener ‘You Keep Coming Back’ and the vocal and instrumental harmonies build into a frenzy, the addictive joy of the record takes hold for repeated listens
