Sealed Stereo Original, Small Chip On Spine. “The 1970 Follow-Up To Soul Bag Was For The Most Part A Further Step Away From Where Willie Mitchell Had Been For The Past Decade. The Sound On Many Moods Is Darker, Funkier, Greasier, And Grittier. It's Almost Sloppy, Which Gives The Record An Immediacy That Virtually Nothing He Recorded Before Or Since Could Claim. From The Slippery Late-Night Feel Of "Breaking Point," With Its Gorgeous Guitar And Organ Harmonics, To The Endgame Of "Something Nice," Which Is Far More Sexy Than Nice With Its Intricately Structured Horn And Guitar Lines Weaving In And Out Of One Another, The Effect Was The Same: Intoxicating Groove Science. Other Standouts Include "Sack-O-Woe," "Roadhouse," And "Black Fox." On These Tracks What Is Central Is The Stretching Of Time And Space Through The Backbeat, Letting It Fall Just Ahead Or Behind The Rest Of The Band, As Horn Lines, Booker T.'S Organ, And Steve Cropper's Guitar Took Their Places Laying Out The Groove And Punching It Up With Fills And Flourishes.” Thom Jurek, AMG.
