Free Spirit Records. A subsidiary of Salsoul Records Corp.
[p]1977 Original LP
Aquí os presento el album de la banda Anvil Band, de la que poco o nada se sabe, salvo que salió en la subsidaria de Salsoul Records, Free Spirit y que contenía 10 cortes realmente buenos, composiciones de Joe Bataan, Hayes, Smith y Montana, ademas de una version del clasico de Cole Porter "Begin The Beguine".
Como decia, el misterio es el maximo protagonista de este raro LP, empezando con esa horrorosa portada (alguien de vosotros reconoce a alguno de esos engendros travestidos?) , siguiendo con la escasez de creditos los cuales no nos permiten saber cuales fueron los componentes de esta banda ni tampoco donde fue grabado.
Tengo mis sospechas de que The Anvil band fuera un proyecto encubierto de la propia Salsoul Orchestra, aunque no lo tengo del todo claro. El estudio de grabacion bien podria ser Sigma Sound o alguno de Nueva York.
Misterios aparte y ocupandonos ya de lo verdaderamente importante en todo esto, que es la musica, estamos ciertamente ante una joya a descubrir. Todos los temas son una bella mezcla de disco-funk-philly-salsa realmente brillante.
La cara A, es en gran parte para Joe Bataan, escribiendo los 4 primeros temas los cuales son todos ellos brillantes: "The Tunnel", "Let's Dance" (cover de "Dance A Little Bit Closer" de Charo, o acaso fue al reves?), "Sadie" y "Continental Square Dance" (version instrumental de la misma que sacó en single el mismo Bataan). La cara se cierra con una mas que aceptable version de "Begin The Beguine" de Cole Porter.
La cara B empieza con un cover de el "Theme from The Man" de Isaac Hayes, continua con una version instrumental del que fuera el primer single de Salsoul Records en 1975, "I Can't Give You Up" de Floyd Smith. Los 3 ultimos cortes de este disco son realmente espectaculares: "Samba" del que no se conoce autor (o se olvidaron de escribirlo en el disco) es una muestra tal como dice el titulo, de samba-disco-philly genial y realmente adictivo. "I'll Be True", otra cancion escrita por F. Smith es una pieza puramente philly en el que las cuerdas toman mas protagonismo (y es de paso, quizas, el unico corte conocido de esta banda, por haberse recopilado en varios CDs comerciales) acabando con el impresionante "Nice Vibes" de Vincent Montana Jr.: este tema fue uno de los 3, que los hermanos Cayre propusieron para que hiciera Montana para Salsoul Records en su creacion a principios del 1975, junto a "Salsoul Hustle" y, precisamente, "Dance a Little Bit Closer". Los arreglos de cuerdas de este tema son poco menos que espectaculares!
En lineas generales, un excelente album instrumental que pasó sin pena ni gloria (seguramente con el publico asustado por esa portada ultrakitch-terrorifica) pero que guarda en su interior una agradable sorpresa.

superb post read somewhere about this band before pure sleaze disco many thx
Esto es puro Salsoul Orchestra sin lugar a duda,estoy de acuerdo contigo Solsoul,debe ser el inicio camuflado,pero con un nombre que no debio tener aceptación y que sin duda debieron cambiarlo a posterior.
No obstante es un magnifico album,del cual solo conocia los dos temas que pusiste en tu recopilatorio.
Salu2.
Buenas, sin duda alguna de lo mejor que he escuchado de la factoria salsoul,el tema samba flipante, y los otros temas de una majestuosa calidad.
fins aviat.
Gracias por este fantástico LP lleno de temas muy FRESCOS. Una gozada escuchar estos sonidos orquesta en pleno techno-siglo XXI.

thank you for all. good sound.
Thanks to all for your nice comments!!!
Indeed, this album is rare but GREAT!!! I think Vince Montana was behind this for sure.
Grazie...dall'Italia!
many thx for this album :-)
Many Thanks! cb
Very nice! Thanks so much!
It doesn't sound like the usual group of Salsoul musicians playing on this record. Some definitely sound like the Baker-Harris-Young rhythm section (like on Nice Vibes), but the other tracks sound like they were probably New York productions, not Philly Sigma.
Nice Vibes sounds like a close cousin to MFSB's 'My Mood'. You could make a clean medley of the two tracks back to back!

Grandioso, mas cosa buena.Gracias.
WOW - what a rarity! And here it sits, just waiting to be plucked for free. Thank you so much! I can't believe I found this!
www.black-music-collectors.com says : MANY THANKS for this post. What A RARITY of an SALSOUL item. Never heard this before and it was a big miss !! For an "77 release it still sounds great? and the mastering was perfect. I especially appreciate "Sadie" !!! Didn't kenw that some notes of Sadie (she smokes) came from here !

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.gertantis.ru]legal buy viagra online[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
I am dying to hear this record, but the link is dead. Could you please re-post it? Much thanks in advance!
