Release Notes:

included with the promo says so even. So here's a retail with complete tracks,
enjoy.

The genius of Roy Ayers knows no end -- and as this set of unreleased work from
the 70s proves, Roy was always working at top form back in the day -- even above
and beyond his classic albums from the time! The grooves here are tremendous --
funky, soulful, jazzy, and every bit as wonderful as the work that Roy did for
his classic albums on Polydor -- and in a way, the whole set's even tighter and
heavier than any of Roy's full LPs, because it's a distillation of his sound
from the time, hand-picked from the vaults with an ear towards the kind of
timeless grooves that have been a huge influence on many worlds of music for
years! You've never heard any of these tunes before, but we can promise you'll
love them every bit as much as Roy's tracks on albums like Coffy, Vibrations,
Mystic Voyage, and other classics -- and the quality of the set only further
pushes our jaw-dropping respect for the man! Titles include "Holiday",
"Kwajilori", "I Am Your Mind (part 2)", "Touch Of Class", "Third Time", "Come To
Me", "Wide Open", "Funk In The Hole", "Liquid Love", "Tarzan", "Sunshine
(demo)", and "I Like The Way You Do It To Me".
