This will set you back well over $1000 if you bought the LP...CD is a lot cheaper...ripped from Vinyl ,so you have a really rare album here in all its original glory.This is a now a lost album by the great Bobby Boyd sought after by northern and funk fans alike.Only recorded 2 albums and when i find his first will bang that up also..like this extremely rare release from 1971.This album was produced by George Benson & Harvey Fuqua(Motown).Most of his 45,s found their ways onto the dancefloors of the Northern Scene. As well as being a soul singer, songwriter,he played saxophone. Not much info on him except he hailed from Brooklyn, NY. In 1971 Boyd moved himself and his entire band to Paris, France. Went back to New York a couple of years later the God only knows what happened to him ? interesting to note that Tiger Lily Records was by run by Morris Levy, the founder of the Roulette label. Purportedly, it was a tax scam label created by Levy, and was never intended to make a profit. Tiger Lily's modus operandi was to acquire demo tapes from artists and then release them without the artists consent and sometimes without even the artist's knowledge....shock horror!...not!

Thanks AMM for starting off the new year and saving me $1000 plus already.
Thank You Very Much AMM
GREAT opener for the year!!!New to me, but love it!
I've heard the Bobby Boyd Congress album from 1971, but never this solo album. According to Discogs this Booby Boyd is the same person as the leader of Bobby Boyd Congress. This album seems interesting.
