I recommend the LOVE POWER PEACE CD.....It's from Paris in 1971, including Bobby Byrd, Bootsy & Catfish Collins, and Fred Wesley. It is the epitome of what a tight ass band should sound like!!!!! It's also right before Bootsy & Catfish left Mr. Brown.....
And I DARE say that I light it much more than both the Apollo CD's AND Revolution Of The Mind.....
