Weekend Deal｜Lyn Collins: Think (About It) Vinyl LP｜ Other Products

You all know the "Think" break. You've heard it on "It Takes Two" and countless hip hop, B-more and jungle records. And by now you know it comes from the James Brown produced debut of Lyn Collins. Here's what the mgmnt had to say when we were first able to get our hands on the LP:
I take no risk in calling this one of the greatest funk productions of all time. The first time I heard "It Takes Two," I got rea. Hearing that loop in context of the original song ignited my whole interest in record collecting (which in turn gave more reason to start the Lab). From the suspenseful spoken intro, to Lyn's vocal vibrato, to the multiple bridges, and finally to the monstrous break that appears twice, you really couldn't imagine a more potent formula. "Think" is the obvious nug on here, but this is really about soul sista swagger on tracks like "Ain't No Sunshine," "Fly Me To the Moon," and "Wheels of Life" that complete the picture. I always thought Lyn was best enjoyed on albums rather than 7"s (badass as they may be).
