Synopsis

Amazon.com
The Beastie Boys named a track on Check Your Head after this 1971 all-instrumental session. The pre-"Jungle Boogie" Gang here sticks mostly to cocktail-funk jams such as the Latin-tinged "Sombrero Sam" and a swirling version of Isaac Hayes's "Ike's Mood." They charge the tempo only on a pulsing "Ronnie's Groove" and the bonus track "The Penguin." Not as essential as the hit singles that were to follow, but if you're curious about Live at P.J.'s, you'll probably dig it. --Rickey Wright

CD Reviews

One of the underrated ones of Kool & The Gang
Philip Eldring | Köln, Germany | 10/18/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Somehow this CD got me caught. I listen to it over and over again. The grooves of N.T. (as sampled so many times) and DUJII got me in a very serious enjoying mood. If you like K&TG without the cheesy vocals of J.T. Taylor you have to get this one 'cause a) it was out-of-print for a long time and b) it really shows their live power and c) it's an album without one filler. You can buy K&TG's albums (if you're interested in good music) until "Something Special" comes up. That was the first one with Cheesy Taylor and is to avoid for true Jazz- and Funkateers. Something special are the albums before "Something Special". And now you just have to buy eleven great CDs by K&TG all released before "Something Special". What to buy next: "Wild & Peaceful", "Spirit Of The Boogie", "Music Is The Message", "Live At The Sex Machine", "Kool & The Gang", "Good Times", "Kool Jazz", "Light Of Worlds", "Love & Understanding" and -because of three tracks- "The 12" Collection & More"."
