UK IMPORT VINYL

Keni Burke's seminal Changes yielded the eternal club classic "Risin' To The Top". Changes, first released in 1982 on RCA, is something truly special. It's a masterpiece of sophisticated '80s groove, containing first-class funky soul that sounds as fresh as ever. This is multi-tempo soul music conceived in heaven. Ace bass player, songwriter, arranger and producer, Keni Burke was discovered by Curtis Mayfield and a childhood member of the Five Stairsteps. Emanating from that magical '81-83 era and pristinely recorded at Philadelphia's legendary Sigma Sound Studios, his third solo album Changes really perfected Keni's groove. It incorporated tight, snappy rhythm arrangements which, despite the era, featured real drums courtesy of Steve Ferrone (from Average White Band) to complement Keni's meaty bass lines. With Dean "Sir" Gant on synths and keyboards and Ed Walsh handling the Vocoder-OBX and Prophet 5, wonderful lines from Earth, Wind & Fire's legendary horn section and hooky rhythm and lead guitar riffs courtesy of Ed "Tree" Walsh, Keni was truly spoiled for excellence. Doc Gibbs on percussion and Vince Montana on vibes elevate the sensational writing and arrangements.

"Risin' To The Top" is undoubtedly the defining crown and lasting legacy of this album. With its instantly captivating bassline, slowly creepin' groove and uplifting lyrics, it was a favorite among both the '80s soul steppers and hip-hop crowd. Big Daddy Kane sampled it for "Smooth Operator", LL Cool J for "Around The Way Girl", Pete Rock & CL Smooth for "Take You There", Doug E Fresh for "Keep Risin To The Top" and O.C. with "Born 2 Live".

The track which precedes "Risin'" on Side B is another steppers favorite. "One Minute More" is a perfect mid-tempo ballad and the epitome of deep modern soul. It's hard to think of a better song segue than from the intense beauty of "One Minute More" to when "Risin'" elegantly stirs into action. The propulsive, bass-heavy opener "Shakin" is an indisputable cracker and it's followed by the timeless mid-tempo class of "Hang Tight". "Can't Get Enough" is another emotional, horn heavy chugger. The side closes with the sparse, tender, floating slow jam "Who Do You Love"; a truly divine ballad. The B-side beings with the title-track, "Changes", a squelchy, melodic boogie banger with fantastic keys, incredible vocals, ace shuffling percussion, and spacey synths. It's followed by the ultimate one-two in "One Minute More" and "Risin'" before this sensational set closes with the glorious easy glide "All Night". An absolutely essential record for fans of deeply soulful modern-funk. Mastered for vinyl by Simon Francis. Cut by Cicely Balston for Alchemy at AIR Studios.

Mixed Bag of Dog Squeaky Toys for Small Dogs
Color: 12pack, Size: Small
I recently purchased the SHARLOVY Dog Squeaky Toys for Small Dogs, a pack of stuffed animal puppy toys, and while they offer some positive aspects, there are a few drawbacks that prevent me from giving them a higher rating. One positive aspect of this toy pack is the variety it offers. With 12 different plush dog toys included, there is a range of options to keep my small dog entertained and engaged. The cute designs and soft textures are appealing, and they provide a good selection for different play sessions. The squeaky feature of these toys can be entertaining for dogs, and it adds an element of interactive play. The squeaker is relatively durable and has held up reasonably well during playtime, adding an extra level of excitement for my dog. However, the durability of these toys is a concern. While they are suitable for small dogs and light chewers, they may not withstand the rigorous chewing of more aggressive chewers or larger breeds. The seams on some toys have come apart relatively quickly, resulting in stuffing coming out or potential choking hazards. It is important to supervise playtime and monitor the condition of the toys closely. Another drawback is the size of the toys. While they are marketed for small dogs, some of the toys in the pack are quite small and may pose a choking risk for dogs that are prone to swallowing or have a tendency to tear apart toys. It is essential to choose the appropriate toy size based on your dog's breed and chewing habits. In terms of value for money, the price point for this toy pack is reasonable considering the number of toys included. However, the longevity of the toys may impact the overall value, as they may need to be replaced more frequently for dogs that are rough with their toys. In conclusion, the SHARLOVY Dog Squeaky Toys for Small Dogs offer a variety of cute and soft toys that can entertain small dogs during playtime. The squeaky feature adds to the fun, but the durability of the toys and potential choking hazards are concerns. It is important to choose appropriate toy sizes and supervise playtime to ensure the safety of your furry friend. If you have a small dog and are looking for a variety of soft and squeaky toys, this pack may be worth considering. However, if your dog is an aggressive chewer or larger in size, it may be more prudent to explore more durable and size-appropriate options to ensure the toys can withstand your dog's play habits.

Not invincible but good value
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
Great value for the money. We have 3 dogs and they are pretty strong chewers. They lasted a few months but ultimately succumbed to their inevitable doom. They arrived well packaged and with no unusual odors.

One of the best indestructible dog toys we've bought
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
So we adopted a pup in December and she tears up everything! I mean, Everything! My CPAP, garden hoses, trucks seat belt and backup camera wiring. Every single dog toy with stuffing, dismantle them in minutes. So many dog toys say they are are tear proof. nope! We have tons of stuffing all over our 5 acres. Hen m wife bought these. Beside the bones she bought, these are the only things she can't seem to destroy and she loves them!!!!

BEST Dog Toys EVER! JRT approved
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 for these toys! We have terriers who have NEVER met a toy they couldn't destroy... until now. We've had them over a week an all 5 are still intact, crinkly, and squeakers squeaking - and they're played with constantly! When I tell you I've never, in all my years of JRT ownership and rescue, had a toy last 24 hours, much less a WEEK? Well, lots of you will know how astonishing that is! We've currently got 5 dogs (2 fosters, anyone looking for a project?) so the package size is perfect. Get 'em.
