Title: The Original!
Review: Tower's debut album. Lots of gritty vocals to go with tight horn section. Broke ground as a multi-hued big band out of Oakland/Berkeley that was special then and is still funky today. Much of this album is on the raw, unpolished side, with one exception, the ballad Sparkling in the Sands. When this album came out I was in high school and my buddies and I played that cut so often we practically wore a hole through the record! All Tower's true believers have this album already, but any of you newer converts, pick it up. This is where it all started!
