{"product_id":"669185337280-chicago-knights","title":"WALTER THOMAS | CHICAGO KNIGHTS","description":"Walter Thomas's \"Chicago Knights\" LP features a retrospective of songs written and released between 1987 and 2009, primarily with the Roland 1824 and the Fostex 8-track reel-to-reel. Channeling the spirit of underground soul and dance music specifically rooted within the greater area of Chicago, Illinois-a city known for it's deep and healthy soul and R\u0026amp;B roots-this compilation features 8 of it's 9 tracks on vinyl for the very first time. The intro track \"I Wanna Get Witcha\" dates back to 1987 and holds a proven track record of kicking off many a dance floor, rocking clubs worldwide in a blur of boogie-funk, disco, and soul. \"Immaturity\" and both versions of \"Fed Up\" echo the emotional differences and tensions between lovers in a spat. \"Magic City\" served as the anthem and homage to it's namesake roller-skating rink in 90s-era Waukegan, IL. While \"Chicago Knights\" is a relentless mid-tempo groove inspired by the aggressive motorists that dominate Chicago roadways, \"2nd Chance\" drops the tempo to a slow R\u0026amp;B roll, preaching the ethos of love, peace, and forgiveness. Last but certainly not least, \"E\u0026amp;J's\" was a real commercial jingle used for a once-legendary BBQ joint, \"E\u0026amp;J's,\" in Illinois: a short bonus track to close out the LP. These 9 tracks are just a touch of Walter's expansive body of work, and we're stoked to bring them to you on wax.","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":53448368554284,"sku":"al-669185337280","price":77.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/4497399-3539087.jpg?v=1784360758","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/669185337280-chicago-knights","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
