Led off by the timeless, blazing rare groove classic A1 "So Much Trouble," this record burns with the raw, passionate funk & soul spirit of JB, Sly, and Curtis Mayfield. The sole album, from 1973, by the seven-piece funk band SIR JOE QUARTERMAN & FREE SOUL, fronted by Joe Quarterman — and a genuine gem. 9 tracks in all. Back in the '90s you'd often see the original pressing hanging on the wall at rare groove-leaning used record shops. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
