Home Boy And The C.O.L. LP

Reissued on vinyl for the FIRST time, Home Boy And The C.O.L. is Cecil Lydes self-titled debut under the Home Boy name and was released in 1982 on his own label Alwest Records. The whole album is backed by a fantastic cast of all-star players that includes John Stephens (Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder), Fred Brown (Gwen McCrae), Rommel Sinclair (Fred Wesley), Gary Bell (Lionel Hampton), Carl Lockett (Pharoah Sanders, Chuck Mangione) and Terry Carter (Swamp Dogg).

These recordings (ten songs in total) are particularly interesting to boogie-enthusiasts because of their high doses of funky twerks, solid grooves, crazy synth work, excellent drumbeats and Cecils soulful Doo-wap influenced vocals. This album just oozes Soul, Funk and Boogieyoull quickly find yourself shaking hips the moment the needle hits the first track! Also included are the tracks Ill Make It On My Own (which became a hit in the UKs Norhern Soul scene) and Home Boys Revenge which was later remixed by DM-FunK (Stones Throw Records). All of the above makes this LP an essential purchase for any self-respecting fan and collector.
