Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson – The Education Of Sonny Carson
(Paramount Records PAS-1045, 1974) US LP
La claque du Week End.
Je laisse la parole à un bloggeur qui sait manifestement communiquer sa passion :
"SILENCE!
This record will be broken down into a numbered list.
1- If you haven’t already, BUY the movie “The Education of Sonny Carson”
2- This is one of my RAREST, most TREASURED, most THOROUGH, most MEANINGFUL LP in my ENTIRE collection
3- Took me over a year and a half to dig this up, almost had a heart-attack when I found it
4- This is the BEST blaxploitation movie soundtrack…EVER!
5- Don’t go looking for MP3′s of this LP, because you won’t find them.
6- Interesting fact, the images shown on the front and back covers are outakes, and weren’t actually used for the movie
7- The soundtrack is PURE GENIUS, and an excellent collaboration between Leon Ware and Coleridge Perkins, two SLEPT ON artists/producers of the past.
8- What you get…ballads, funky grooves, pure soul, and some sounds that I truly cannot classify at the moment!
9- AGAIN, go BUY the movie before attempting to go digging for this LP.
10- Nobody sampled ANYTHING off of this record, it’s an untapped resource…barely anyone knows that this album exists, either that or they gave up years ago trying to find it…
…Rose Gold Holy Grail."
