Description

‘You got the stuff’ is not ‘Lovely day’ – that much is true. This one’s a wigged out, extended, trip into deep space from 1978 that is truly baffling.

Of course, it features Bill singing for the first half of the track but then all of a sudden we’re launched into a cosmic wormhole as everything just falls back and the track is stripped of any earthly qualities. People find themselves asking ‘this…… this is Bill Withers?’ as lazer guided synths and rock solid drums pull us into the sonic vortex. Truly amazing. Obviously a nugget like this has not gone unnoticed and has been edited and chopped and sampled deftly by the more sarcastic, left-field oriented crate diggers out there but it has never been reissued legitimately – Until now!

A hugely sought after and collectible gem right here, backed with the wistful slow jam ‘Look To Each Other For Love’ as per the original 1978 Columbia promo 12″ version. This left-field, cosmic classic has been legally reissued by Above Board distribution in conjunction with the legal rights holders – Sony Music Entertainment. This high quality repress features original Columbia pink label Disco 12″ artwork and has been remastered from Sony’s original sources by Optimum Mastering, Bristol UK.

Time of You Got The Stuff that is printed on the label is not correct. This is the long ‘Special Disco’ version and the correct time is 7:44

Sold out at the suppliers.

Tracklist:
A – You Got The Stuff (7:44)
B – Look To Each Other For Love (4:23)
