Channeling the spirit of underground soul and dance music specifically rooted within the greater area of Chicago, Illinois—a city known for its deep and healthy soul and R\u0026amp;B roots—this compilation features 8 of its 9 tracks on vinyl for the very first time. The intro track \"I Wanna Get Witcha\" dates back to 1987 and holds a proven track record of kicking off many a dance floor, rocking clubs worldwide in a blur of boogie-funk, disco, and soul. \"Immaturity\" and both versions of \"Fed Up\" echo the emotional differences and tensions between lovers in a spat. \"Magic City\" served as the anthem and homage to its namesake roller-skating rink in 90s-era Waukegan, IL. While \"Chicago Knights\" is a relentless mid-tempo groove inspired by the aggressive motorists that dominate Chicago roadways, \"2nd Chance\" drops the tempo to a slow R\u0026amp;B roll, preaching the ethos of love, peace, and forgiveness. Last but certainly not least, \"E\u0026amp;J's\" was a real commercial jingle used for a once-legendary BBQ joint, \"E\u0026amp;J's,\" in Illinois: a short bonus track to close out the LP. These 9 tracks are just a touch of Walter’s expansive body of work, and we’re stoked to bring them to you on wax.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI Wanna Get Witcha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImmaturity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMagic City\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChicago Knights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFed Up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFed Up (Rap Version)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2nd Chance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eE\u0026amp;J’s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CQQL","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44100640997475,"sku":"669185337280","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/Image_92ac6afd-cb36-468b-84eb-951cd928640f.jpg?v=1775403406","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/669185337280","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
