Home Boy And The C.O.L.
Available exclusively in store on Saturday 23rd April 2022. Any/all remaining copes will be on sale online from 8pm on Friday 29th April.
LIMITED TO 500 COPIES ONLY
The album we are proudly presenting you today (Home Boy And The C.O.L.) is Cecil Lyde's self-titled debut under the 'Home Boy' name and was released in 1982 on his own label Alwest Records. The whole album is backed by a fantastic cast of all-star players that includes John Stephens (Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder), Fred Brown (Gwen McCrae), Rommel Sinclair (Fred Wesley), Gary Bell (Lionel Hampton), Carl Lockett (Pharoah Sanders, Chuck Mangione) and Terry Carter (Swamp Dogg).
These recordings (ten songs in total) are particularly interesting to boogie-enthusiasts because of their high doses of funky twerks, solid grooves, crazy synth work, excellent drumbeats and Cecil's soulful Doo-wap influenced vocals. This album just oozes Soul, Funk and Boogie...you'll quickly find yourself shaking hips the moment the needle hits the first track! Also included are the tracks 'I'll Make It On My Own' (which became a hit in the UK's Norhern Soul scene) and 'Home Boys Revenge' which was later remixed by D√¢M-FunK (Stones Throw Records). All of the above makes this LP an essential purchase for any self-respecting fan and collector.
Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the FIRST ever vinyl reissue of "Home Boy And The C.O.L." originally released and privately pressed on Alwest Records in 1982. This rare record (original copies tend to go for LARGE amounts on the secondary market) now comes as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition, strictly limited to 1500 copies worldwide with obi strip and features the original artwork. Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2022 and available in participating stores on April 23, 2022.\\"
