Chet ‘Poison’ Ivy was a busy if somewhat frustrated musician, songwriter and bandleader who, by 1972, had racked up a hefty amount of singles spread across a variety of labels without landing the hit he craved. This compilation focuses on his output with Al Sears’ Sylvia label and includes some of his finest – if least successful works. ‘Dose Of Soul’ and ‘Get Down With The Geater’ both have that four to the floor beat giving them instant appeal while ‘Funky Chit Chat’ has a superb dancefloor tempo. ‘Bad On bad’ is perhaps his most sought after on the label – a funky wah wah groove that hits hard – ‘He Say She Say’ has that ‘Dose Of Soul’ feel, ‘Party People’ has tough, all encompassing groove while ‘Recipe To get Down’ has a slight island vibe which bearing the unmistakable feel of Ivy and his tough, tight band.
