(180g) Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI've been waiting for this to be reissued for a while.\u003c\/em\u003e Refusing to pay the $80-100 bones that dealers demand, I thought I'd see this somewhere cause it's on the pretty common \u003ca title=\"verve\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVerve\u003c\/a\u003e label. I came across it once on Broadway from this guy who sells cheap records on the sidewalk. He wanted 8 bucks for a very beat up copy, so I passed. Never seen it again, except for record store walls. I used to intern at Verve too. They have a big room of old vinyl and weird import pressings. I managed to bag a bunch of good shit, but back then, I wasn't hip on this record. They probably had it too. Ahh frustration. Like a good massage, this reissue satisfies something, and rightfully so, cause this Funky organ joint is meant for everyone to hear. Back when \u003cem\u003eCheck Your Head\u003c\/em\u003e came out, I thought the \u003ca title=\"Beastie Boys\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeasties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e were on another tip for their production on \"Root Down.\" But hardly did I know it was a straight jack of this song, title and all! This goes down as one of my favorite intros, right up there with \u003ca target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS.O.U.L.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e's \"Burning Spear.\" \"Slow Down Sagg\" is a hot track which cooks in a similar style and Jimmy lets his band get some with a nice break and hot bass solo. The rest of the album consists of covers and sounds more like a typical semi-funky 70s fusion album. Definitely worth it for \"Root Down\" alone. A faithful reproduction on 180 gram vinyl with excellent sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Verve 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by the mgmnt 06\/2016\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Jimmy Smith","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":48502904258731,"sku":"fr-3472","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/5282\/1931\/files\/rootdown-jimmysmith.jpg?v=1793638740","url":"https:\/\/shopdelviro.shop\/products\/jimmy-smith-root-down-jimmy-smith-live-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"Avermont","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
