The TSG reissue project, the pinnacle of rare groove, goes to the depths with the fourth installment. It's no exaggeration to say that the original TSG release is a very rare one. There are many great and rare albums on the Tax Scam label, including TIGER LILLY with the Jackson Sisters, but TSG stands at the top of the list, and the veil is finally lifted from the most mysterious of them all. This is truly RARE GROOVE!
The GROOVE DIGGERS team has solved many difficult problems in rare groove archaeology, and this is the most difficult and mysterious one lurking in the tiger's hole of the final destination. The only clue is that the same material was released with a different jacket on the mysterious GRAHAM INTERNATIONAL label, which is also rare, but easier to find than the TSG version. Incidentally, the best of TSG's ULTIMATES was also released on this label in a different jacket, which is of course also rare, but it's a long story, so let's talk about the relationship between these two labels next time. As you can see, there were a lot of tax-scam labels in the 70's, which were released for other purposes (i.e., for tax purposes), and their rarity was ensured by the small number of pressings due to their "reasons". The "good sound" is selected from them, and is revered as rare groove by maniacs all over the world. This is your chance to hear the deepest part of it! What is the sound of this album? It's not the popular song by Tomorrow's People, which was recently released as an LP in this series and has been well received around the world. It's a definite double-sider, with its massive horn-driven funk over a looped bass line that repeats itself, and a soft, mellow middle that's typical of rare grooves, with guitars cutting along with a storm of extended horns!
