Wally Badarou - Back to Scales To-Night (1980)


Related:

Debut solo record from synth/keyboard session man Wally Badarou; I'm not even going to try to start naming all the great artists he's played with. Laid-back, synth-fueled, reggae-tinged lite funk/pop-rock/R&B that's positively perfect for summer nights. Yes, his second album, Echoes, is his masterpiece, but DO NOT sleep on this record.

Track listing:
1. Back to Scales Tonight
2. Sing Me Your Song
3. One Day, Won't Give It Away
4. Dream on the Sand
5. London Town (Instrumental)
6. He Was a Rasta in London Town
7. She Turns Me On
8. Lady Finger Blue (Instrumental)
9. Preachin'

  1. Thanks again Mr. O! I have Echoes and had no idea Mr. Badarou had an earlier album maybe because I live in America where stuff like this was/is inaccessible! Side note he was like a second keyboard player in Level 42 (British funk /pop band led by bassist extraordinaire Mark King) and contributed to their early and dare I say best releases.
