CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Purple Image "Purple Image" 1970 (USA)

Following up on last week's P-Funk Spectacular, here's a lesser-known heavy funk band from Cleveland. Not a whole lot is known about this group, and this was their only album, but it is a doozy! Featuring the 15 minute psychedelic soul freakout "Marching To The Beat Of A Different Drummer" and the hard-hitting anthem "Living In The Ghetto", this is one of the greatest acid-funk obscurities you will ever come across.
There isn't any video footage of Purple Image, but here's a clip where you can hear "Living In The Ghetto" while staring at the CD cover. Some groovy funk trailblazers who are better known would include The Chambers Brothers and Sly & The Family Stone. Meanwhile back in Africa, Fela Kuti and his insanely funky band Afrika 70 were inventing all kinds of new dance moves. And on a completely different note, LIARS are coming to town this week!
