Introducing Slim Moore and the Mar-Kays

'Introducing Slim Moore and the Mar-Kays' is the soul combo's debut album, also featuring the fervent vocal stylings of the One Faith Gospel Singers. Meticulously recorded in the basement of Metropolitan Studios on eight-track tape machine, the album captures some of the baddest orchestral soul sounds ever to come out of the Great Canadian North. From the cinematic hues of 'Cityscape' to the fuzzed-out psychedelia of 'Reachin' Higher', from the sweet doo-wop harmonies of 'Get Back Home' to the urban blues of Syl Johnson's 1970 classic 'Is It Because I'm Black', the result is nothing short of breath-taking.
