- aka i will take that ride from the reissue of her self-titled 1973 release
i finally get around to the whole reason i created this goddamn thing. to share the beauty of betty.
let us think the lord our god for the fine arts library. and kvrx. and the revrend get down aka thomas fawcett. his review of the light in the attic reissue of betty's first 2 records was amazing and i don't remember why but i chose to put on the first track of 'they say i'm different' called shoo-b-doop and cop him. honestly i can't remember how i felt when i heard it, certainly my love of the song has only increased since that first listen. but i definitely felt something because i immediately burned the cd and never stopped listening to it. however, this is not that record. this is a vinyl rip of betty's 1975 release 'nasty gal', the quality of the record and the rip is a little dodgy, but i think it's very listenable. and although nowhere near as good, in my opinion, as her previous releases, there are some insane tracks on here. there is sadly very little info about betty online or any place but trust me (or listen for yourself!) she's incredible. i wish i could say more but you should just listen (this is the heaviest funk you're likely to hear) and i'll post some links and things once i have ripped her other records.
