O’s Notes: The urban grooves of Pleasure were created over twenty-five years ago, yet they still have a place in today’s popular music as evidenced by the widespread sampling in rap and hip hop today. Fantasy has packaged Dust Yourself Off and Accept No Substitutes together on one CD. This is the kind of beat that you can dance to, backed by brassy riffs and sweet vocal harmonizing. It is more complex than simple blues patterns and has some strong jazz based solos. And there are also the requisite love ballads for a slow dance or reflecting. It’s re-mastered and well packaged for your enjoyment.
