MAMA LION

"PRESERVE WILDLIFE"is on the FAMILY RECORDS label

Scarce lp from this amazingly funky psychy rock outfit. This was their first lp and it’s an absolute gem with some killer tracks.Several tracks that would work as part of a folk funk set or a psychy funk set too.Mad funky psych rock that has made bass guitarist Neil Merryweather renowned, with some real nice crisp headnodding beats,wicked organ lines,lovely keys,fuzz guitar as well as some great female vocals too.Loads of nice loops and stabs for the producers.The lp kicks off with an absolutely blazing version of ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’.Must be the best version of this track I’ve ever heard.Scorching organ lines,spaced out guitar lines and tight wah chops,wicked vocal delivery and super heavy tight snappy beats,couple of nice open breaks too.Loads more top tracks including Wildcat,Sister Sister,Can’t Find My Way Home,It’s Only A Dream,etc. The overall sound of this lp reminds me a bit of Ellen McIlwaine, and at times Janis Joplin. Real heavy psychy funky rock with amazing vocals as well as instrumentation. Top tracks for the djs as well as producers.

The (in)famous gimmix (diecut) cover is very clean, with all seams intact, as are all of the window bars. The only flaw is a small drill hole in the upper right hand corner, making this a solid EX-
The vinyl is very nice shape with some minor hairlines: I believe it has to do more with the pressing (I've had 5 copies of this lp and all look the same), which makes it a conservative VG++./EX-.
The labels are clean and bright too, as new. Nary a spindle mark to be found
Here's an opportunity to snag a rare original record - great music indeed.
