about

Released on Westbound in July of 1974, Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On is a perpetual fan favorite, and it’s easy to hear why. Between the return of guitar hero Eddie Hazel to the fold, and the refining of their futuristic mutant Funk, Verge is a near-perfect waypoint between what was and what was to come. The glorious title track, a smart reworking of early Parliaments’ jam “Red Hot Momma”, the slow groove of “I’ll Wait” and more stratospheric guitar fireworks from Hazel, it’s a tour de force from beginning to end.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
