Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Tommy McGee

essential soul from tommy mcgee. double vinyl release, housed in a gatefold sleeve.

having anthologized his ‘60s songbook with 1976’s overdue long-player positive-negative, grand rapids, michigan’s tommy mcgee was eager to place something more modern into the marketplace. brass at brunswick and mca failed to hear a hit in mcgee’s sultry-yet-assured delivery of “now that i have you.” unable to find a home for the romantic anthem, mcgee issued his 2-step masterpiece on his own tmg records in 1981. mcgee would revisit the composition later in the decade, dressing the tune with drum machines and synthesizers for a run of 12-inch singles. however, this 45-only version from 1976 captures the progressive soul stepper at its most organic.
