uno de los albunes mas misteriosos y curiosos..que as visto...todo un multi-instrumentista, cantante y compositor
su 1º y unico lp editado, un discos variado con soprendentes temas que van del hard rock, funk, country y tambien soulful baladas
A Mystery LP As You Cannot Guess Either At First Glance Nor At First Listening That The Singer Is Not Black. It Was Al Bell's Idea To Hide Louis Paul's Colour Of Skin To Kind Of Hoax The Usual Stax / Enterprise Record Buyer. All The Photos On The Double LP Cover Are Overexposed On Purpose And Louis Paul Is In A Clown Disguise, So You Can't See His Real Face. The Official Stax Ads Of The Time Just Said That Louis Plays All The Instruments. In Fact We Can Hear On Some Tracks Raymond Gann (Bass Guitar), Tony Adams (Drums) And Jimmy Nolen (Background Vocals). The LP Is Very Pleasant To Hear With Some Beatles Like Sounds And Melodies Here And There. The Long Instrumental Opening Track Is Very Soulful And The Record Is Overall A Very Good Crossover Between 70's Soul, Pop And Rock & Roll. Strangely Too, This LP Was Not Recorded At Stax, Ardent Or Muscle Shoals As It Was Usual At The Time, But At Sam Phillips' Recording Studios In Memphis (Produced By Jerry Phillips). Stax Web Site.
