Nice one Smooth! I was going to ask if you had this after hearing your great new rip of Morrissey Mullen's 'Badness'.
Coda originally released this album in the UK in 1984 with a different sleeve, though the tracklisting this time is identical. Thanks for yet another flawless transfer :-)

Wow! Great to see this again. This actually came out in 1984 with a different cover. Tracks like 'Move It' and 'Innocent Child' were featured heavily in the UK by a popular dj called Robbie Vincent who had a national show. Another album popular at the time was The Crusaders - Ghetto Blaster, which as far as I can gather is one of the very few Crusader albums no longer available on cd. Maybe one you should stick on your list! Thanks again Smooth you're a god send!

Yes - I remember this from 1984 with a different cover and really enjoying 'Innocent Child' and 'Running with the river' on a new stereo I had just bought. Very nice Brit Jazz-funk with a Morrissey-Mullen edge. Many thanks for bringing this back home, Smooth !!

PS. Another seemingly obscure LP I always remember having very fine tracks on is by the band Software - 'Marbles' from 1981, featuring Mark Colby. Not sure if you have that hiding somewhere in your incredible collection, Smooth ?

@trakbuv: I have Software's "Marbles" too, it will show up on the blog in the not too distant future.

WOW - Really looking forward to that - particularly loved 'Love is right' and 'Up until now' which i have on tape from a radio show I used to listen to back in '81 (Mike Shaft on Picadilly Radio). UNBELIEVABLE my friend !!
