Just A Matter Of Time: Expanded Edition

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1976 album. By the time she recorded Just a Matter of Time, her final Blue Note album, Marlena Shaw was a consistent performer, building a strong base among Soul and Jazz fans thanks to what would become future classics such as 'Woman of the Ghetto' and 'California Soul.' with production by noted New York hit maker Bert DeCoteaux, the album was the follow-up to her much-acclaimed 1975 LP, Who is This Bitch, Anyway? a best-selling US charted jazz album, Just a Matter of Time included the upstate New York-born vocalist's take on 'This Time I'll Be Sweeter', her own, 'No Hidin' Place'; Frederick Knight's 'Be for Real'; and 'Love Has Gone Away,' previously recorded by the Spinners. One of the standout cuts on the album, 'It's Better Than Walkin' Out' also provided a historic first for the prestigious Blue Note label when a 12" Disco single version was issued, reaching the Top 10 on Billboard's Dance Music and Club Play charts in 1976; it's included as a bonus cut on this expanded edition.
