***COSA NOSTRA's heavy duty rare Latin funk psych album recorded in Mexico City in 1971, and the band's English language debut (not to be confused with their Spanish-language second album, reissued by Lazarus on LP).
A blast of heavy grooves, rocked with hard guitar, bass, drums and powerful organ, for a sound along the likes of the Black Sugar albums, if you can imagine U-Roy singing along with the rhythm tracks, and some strangely dissonant background singers chiming in to boot.
Includes such great tracks as "Cosa Nostra," the funky "Squeeze It Tight," the rife-for-sampling "Proud Mary," and the shimmering "Change of Mind."
