Let yourself go


The Music Explosion 'Little Bit O' Soul: The Very Best Of The Music Explosion' (1986)
The liner notes say this could be the lost 2nd album by Ohio's Music Explosion. In fact it contains a few tracks from their 1967 LP plus plenty of additional single cuts including their 1st, "Little Black Egg", later covered by another Ohio obscurity, The Pagans. Side one is garagey, while side two leans more towards soul/R & B with a nod towards the bubblegum that it's producers (Jeffrey Katz and Jerry Kasenetz) were famous for. Singer Jamie Lyons continued after the group disbanded, and I've included the bonus soul struttin' flexi that came with this LP. Here is what you want.
