PictureThe Nite-Liters - Con-Funk-Shun w/ Down And Dirty (RCA Records)
The Nite-Liters were the former band of New Birth. They'd play extremely straight forward (Meters' sound alike) funk jams. Break beat fanatics will love those real low down tracks.

Picture Ronnie Foster - Two Headed Freap (Blue Note Records, 1972)
Because of the big demand, a veteran organ player, Ronnie Foster's masterpiece album "Two Headed Freap" was reissued a while ago, as one of the Blue Note Rare Groove Series. "Mystic Brew" and "Summer Song" are the mellowest songs off the album and, his version of"Let's Stay Together" would qualify Hammond organ addicts' and Pulp Fiction faddists' needs.
