Graham Central Station - Graham Central Station, Warner Bros. Records K46286

This promising 1973 album represents bass wizard Larry Graham's first post-Sly and the Family Stone work. Much like his previous band, Graham Central Station was a multiracial unit that blended soul grooves and pop hooks to create an exuberant hybrid. However, Graham Central Station gives Graham's bass work a more upfront role in the sound and adds further layers of rhythms with drum machines and rhythmic-sounding keyboards like the clavinet.

A delightful surprise for fans of post-"Stand" Sly & The Family Stone. I've always wished Sly had released more albums in the style of those later albums and though this isn't quite as good (I mean, c'mon- Sly's genius can't really be touched), it is certainly similar and is put together by Family Stone bassist Larry Graham, who clearly knows how to replicate this style better than anyone else. And not only is the murky funk sound effectively conjured up, Graham & friends also turn out some great songs, especially "Hair", "Can You Handle It?" and "We Be's Gettin' Down".


Grading scale: NM > EX > VG+ > VG > Good > Poor)

Vinyl: EX. Stunning showing only slight tiny signs of use. The finish is shiny with some light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times. Labels are superb, clean and bright without marks. Spindle shows no sign of wear. And no warps.

Cover: VG+. SPINE: Clear, readable text | SEAMS: Top & Bottom intact without splits | CREASES: None or minor only | RING WEAR : None | DEFACING: None | (Actual images so you can check the condition)


Will combine for shipping if you buy mixed singles and albums. If you buy multiple items wait for invoice with correct shipping cost.

Records are packed well with extra protection and LPs taken out of sleeves. Double-LP usually works as 1LP but no extra protection.
