"Roy Ayer's superb Lots Of Love was originally released on his own independent Uno Melodic label in 1983. The album is one of Ayers' deepest releases stylistically, spanning everything from Fela Kuti-Afrobeat to seminal '80s boogie funk. The album includes the super-dark 'Chicago,' much loved by Moodyman, Theo Parrish and other Detroit minimalists. Recorded around the time of other seminal Roy Ayers productions such as Eighties Ladies and Sylvia Striplin, this really is as good as it gets. Remastered from the original master tapes, the CD comes in Soul Jazz Records' mini-box-pack edition with limited edition postcards."

Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1973. Amazing cover art from Push Pin Graphic designer Haruo Miyauchi. "Despite contributions from an abundance of soul-jazz greats including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jimmy Owens, and Garnett Brown, Virgo Red is the most stripped-down and nuanced of Roy Ayers's Ubiquity LPs. Its sinuous funk grooves are first and foremost a showcase for the intuitive interplay of Ayers and electric keyboardist Harry Whitaker, whose Fender Rhodes fill-ins orbit Ayers's vibes solos like a planet circling the sun. The material is a crazy quilt of righteously soulful originals and deeply funky covers spanning Leroy Hutson's soul classic 'Giving Love' to Stories' soft-pop smash 'Brother Louie' to absolute treacle like The Poseidon Adventure's 'The Morning After' -- by all rights it shouldn't work, but as the astrological overtones winding through Virgo Red attest, sometimes the stars align."

Exact repro reissue of virtuoso vibraphonist Roy Ayers' 1967 pre-Ubiquity solo album. More in a straight ahead jazz style than his earlier work, this record features Herbie Hancock, Sonny Sharrock and Ron Carter. A perfect introduction to the early work of one of the "prophets of acid jazz."
