Kashif – Kashif

Not just one of the best modern soul records (seriously in that top 100, including 12" or 7" single only), but one of my favorite records period, of any genre, there's always the best bang for your buck, and even as it goes up, as did Herbie's "Head Hunters" (which was formally a solid $5-$10 staple of every jazz section in America), like Head Hunters, it's timeless, and no collection is complete without it! If I may so humbly proffer :)

Terrible wow and flutter sounds like a very poor condition tape machine was used for the transfer. Shame because the overall sound quality is good but the songs sound really wobbly.

This album and the artist himself deserves way more recognition. Kashif is the man who popularised synthesisers into R&B music and wrote many other popular music artists music, elevating many different careers such as Evelyn Champagne King and Whitney Houston. RIP Kashif, legend.

This pressing sounds absolutely fantastic. Got my VG/VG+ copy and it sounds better than any other digital release or remaster.

The US pressing is better than the European one. Same issue with Aretha Franklin's Artista LP from the same year...

What an Album, I was lucky enough to see him live at his only ever UK performance at the Jazz Cafe London. I met him after the concert, A moment tresured. RIP Kashif

Played this lp to death in '83....kashif came to my attention via his production work on evelyn "champagne " king's monster hits from the early 1980's,i've been a fan ever since....this album was to some the blueprint to the level soul music needed to at in 1983....pure class from start to finish!! if we're talking levels,this was it back then...salute & r.i.e.p kashif

A gem of an album. It's rare that every track on an LP is a winner especially back then. RIP

obvious but this pressing's track listing on back sleeve different than what's on the vinyl. other than that, amazing record. absolute necessary classic. Rest In Power Kashif!
