JAMES TAYLOR QUARTET - CHALK PIT/TOUGH CHICKEN 7"

Released 2001 UBIQUITY RECORDS (UR 7078)

Notes:

This 7" single is two tracks from what was J.T.Q.'s forthcoming album: 'MESSAGE FROM THE GODFATHER'.

Someone at UBIQUITY has put completely wrong titles on it: the 'Meters' style A-side is called TOUGH CHICKEN and the 'Pucho' style B-side is called 'WILLMA WILL' (named after J.T.Q's sax/flute player, JOHN 'WILLMA' WILLMOTT'). As I write this in 2001, there is a big Funk movement that is retro in style but the buyers like the records to look and sound authentic so I was a little disappointed that the packaging doesn't try to appeal to the 'Funk' buyer (especially the label design). Having said that, it is a classy looking package and a great photo of J.T.Q.
