Independent rare funk lp from 1977 produced by George Semper. Perfect Circle were another Paul Mack discovery and George Semper once again
was caught choosing whether he should work with one band over another.
He turned down Mandrill to finish up work on the now collectible
Perfect Circle album that blended funk, soul and disco influences. Tracks : A1 Dip Stick (3:33) A2 For Your Funkification (3:58) A3 This Love Is Mine (4:35) A4 Jungle Disco (4:04) A5 Spread The News (3:51)

A lost jazz funk classic! Perfect Circle are an obscure little combo
from Oakland -- and they've got a great jazzy groove with lots of sweet
keyboards, heavy basslines, and choppy horn parts -- a sound that's
equally as great as some of the better-known Bay Area funk acts of the
time -- especially those at Fantasy Records! 60s Hammond hero George
Semper is a member of the group -- but he's playing a fair bit more
70s-styled keyboards on the set -- giving it a warm electric vibe
that's totally great! There's some real funky killers here that are
filled with breaks, plus a few mellower soul tracks that have some
really great vocals. ~Dusty Groove America
Still try to buy the vinyl. Excellent choice and post. So happy you haven't forget soul, Opa. The site is getting better and better. Take care my friend.
First got into her around '75 when she brought out that splendid version of 'Wanna be where you are', and have a couple of ripped albums of hers since. But not this one !! Looking forward to the treat - many thanks for taking the trouble to share.
