This excellent slice of blaxploitation never received a proper release due to the film in question being canned in 1973 but thankfully a collection was put together in 1998 ( incidentally this was the same year Julian passed away ). The music is a satisfying mix of early 70's funk and soul with some pleasant touches of jazz, most noticeably on the aptly titled "Super Slick". A few covers are featured in the mix including tracks original composed by Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder which adds further depth to the collection. It's a great soundtrack for those of us in the southern hemisphere who are enduring a long hot summer but for folks on the other side of the world I hope this thaws you out!
