"Bad Tune" appears on the self-titled album ("Earth, Wind and Fire")
released on Warner Bros. Records in 1971 (WS 1905). It is their first,
a hard to find release by EW&F, but I just picked up an album:
Warner Bros. Records Black Music Soul Food Shack Presents: "Ol'Skool
Down Home Cookin'"
on which "Love Is Life" appears, which was also on that album. The
album is a sampler of things to come on the WB Black Music Ol'Skool
subsidiary, which leads me to believe that they are re-issuing that EW&F
album.
Other tunes on the sampler: "In The JungleBabe/Express Yourself"-
Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd... Bootsy collins, Ashford & Simpson,
Graham Central Station, Rose Royce.
It looks like they're going to release the album where "It Seems To Hang
On" (Ashford & Simpson) appears on, which is the loop used in Zhane's
"Request Line." Everytime I hear that song I actually long for the
original crooning by Nicolas Ashford,...
