Super-obscure self-produced and funded 1976 project from Warren, Ohio this album has long been lauded as a grail among collectors and finally it’s been issued on a very limited pressing of 300 copies. If private, homemade funky soul is your thing then Maurice Moore’s self-titled full length will be your thing. The spacey synth lead ‘Freeway – In’ is an expansive groover, the album version of ‘Everything That Shines Ain’t Gold’ differs greatly from the 7” cut and is more laid back and funky while ‘You’re My World’ is a strung out indie ballad. ‘Coming Together’ has a wonderfully earthy atmosphere, ‘I Don’t Want Nobody’ is a pulsating funker while ‘Baby Don’t Go’ again sees Maurice in plaintive ballad mood. Realistically this reissue is the only chance you’re going to get to hear this brief moment in time from a studio somewhere in Ohio in the mid 70s.
