Description

LOU BOND LOU BOND - 1974  STAX XPS - 1904
Near Mint - Sealed.  Nice Item.  Cut Out slit and hole on top left of sleeve.   Sorry that the photos are not clearer but had problems with the lighting and glare.
Bond's album is a unique blend of gentle jazzy street folk and a busker's weary world view. There are hints of Richie Havens, Isaac Hayes, Ted Hawkins and even Marvin Gaye wrapped with a unique Memphis aura. The label, We Produce, was a subsidiary of Stax during company head, Al Bell's eclectic tenure. The lengthy liner notes recount a sad familiar story of triumph and loss. Yet that very dichotomy lends to the excitement of discovery for anyone who seeks the gem that slips between the cracks.
