Get On Down continues to establish itself as the premier label for top-shelf reissues with another classic release from iconic Ohio funk band Slave. Released amidst the group s most prolific era, 1979 s Just a Touch of Love features the lush arrangements and intense rhythms that are the band s signature. Showing their versatility, the album features songs like the space boogie bounce of Warning and the inspirational Roots, with soaring vocals from Mark Hicks, plus the title track, which was a Top 10 hit on the R&B charts. Though Slave continued to record into the 80s, they never again reached the heights heard on this very special album. This edition of Just a Touch of Love features the same high standard of quality expected with every Get On Down title, with digitally remastered audio and packaged in a paste-on mini-LP case in a clear poly bag.

Just a Touch of Love Review
The CD came quickly. I was surprised by the packaging even though I was not unpleasantly so. The CD came in a plastic sleeve that contains the CD with the original LP image on a cardboard inner jacket that is identical to the LP graphics. The CD itself has the same graphics on the non-playing side of the CD as the inner Cotillion Records label on the 1979 LP. It wasn't until I played the CD that I was floored!...Excellent quality digital remastering with almost undiscernable hiss from the original analog master tape. This is the album I have been waiting for!Anyone who purchases this CD will get an honest product at a reasonable price. I will buy from this vendor again as soon as they remaster and offer the funk group Ebonee Webb.

It's about Time!
Many Slave fans have requested this album years. In fact I actually wrote a letter requesting this release on diigital media myself. There appears to be about 25 Slave compilations over the years, but no "Just a Touch of Love" release? I guess the thinking is let's milk the consumer for as much as we can get via numerous compilations and then release the desired CD as a whole.In any event, Just a Touch is one of my favorite Slave releases and I'm glad it is finally available.

Have every SLAVE album now, I rate these cats right up there with The Ohio Players, Parliament, Bootsy, and other funk giants of the 80's.
