★Reissued for the first time★Limited edition LP★Japanese OBI-strip

Chicago soul singer Cecil Ride, who has a huge following among soul fanatics around the world, has finally reissued two extremely rare albums he left behind under the name Homeboy and the C.O.L. after the release of the 80s modern soul/boogie classic Stone Free!

Two years after his debut album Stone Free, Chicago-native Cecil Lyde followed up with a second album of mesmeric modern soul and boogie with his group Home Boy And The Col. Released in 1982, this album possesses the same jagged and electric playfulness of the original while developing a taste for electronic production - his flirtations of a digital kind fill the air in instrumental moments like the electro floor-filler “Time to Change”. Make no mistake though, Lyde’s rich vocals are the highlight on many of the tracks here, and kick into motion the timeless hits “I’ll Make It On My Own” and “Love Was The Cost”. P-VINE is thrilled to be reissuing the album for a world first limited edition LP pressing with an iconic Japanese obi strip attached.
