Review:
Smokin’ organ-based funk by San Diego’s George Semper. This was a busted-ass version of Semper’s superfly LP but I’ll take a half-clean copy rather than none at all (plus Semper’s material was recently reissued). Cookin’ funky soul on here, starting with “Collard Greens” and hitting a high point with Semper’s cover of “Get Out Of My Life Woman” which features surprise, surprise one of those infamous “Get Out” breakbeats that then shifts into Semper’s playful organ sound. Also worth peeping: “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction”, “Memphis”, and “Shortnin’ Bread”. It still falls a few points shy of outstanding if you don’t like the organ, parts of this LP will get on your nerves with a quickness, but a solid find for any digger.

This sounds like a fantastic groover. I love organ-based records, so I am inclined to check this one out. Thanks for sharing.
