Unfortunately, this was the only album that Purple Image ever released. <br /><br />Originally released on Map City Records in 1970, this is a 2004 re-release from Radioactive Records, an interesting label that specializes in reissuing innovative but rare music from the 60s and 70s.<br /><br />It kicks off with Livin’ In The Ghetto, a blistering amalgam of rock, soul, and funk that sets the tone for most of the rest of the album. There is also some slower, more R&B-style music in the middle with vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Persuasions. It ends with a 15 minute extended rock funk jam featuring flanged drums, space guitar, wah-wah guitar, face-melting guitar, and even a harmonica. Bass is mixed high throughout, which pleases me.<br />The lyrics are upbeat and positive as you might expect in songs with titles like We Got To Pull Together. Female and male vocals with the male vocals sometimes trading off a la The Temptations. <br />Thx Marios.adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380084716739328494.post-55117243145674378972012-12-17T14:41:41.975+02:002012-12-17T14:41:41.975+02:00I'm not really into soul & funk but I'...I'm not really into soul & funk but I'm just curious about the psychedelic bit...<br />Many thanks!psychonauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362927227726848965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380084716739328494.post-9465461543661660702012-12-17T07:45:58.482+02:002012-12-17T07:45:58.482+02:00Thanks a lot, Marios, for this great rare gem.
