THE   BEST   OF   PLEASURE

PLEASURE

"The one record I couldn't live without. Have you heard any Pleasure? Have you had the Pleasure?
Again, I first listened to this when I was about 16 or 17. At that time I was really just finding my feet and turning over what I wanted to do,

and this music is so fucking funky. The guitar solo on Joyous is the best, most precise, most rounded, full-bodied solo,

with a beginning, middle and end, that I've heard. At the time bands like Pleasure were very much eclipsed by groups like Tower Of Power.

But forget Tower Of Power, honestly. Bouncy Lady, Joyous, Glide, Pleasure For Your Pleasure, they're just unreal."
(Jay Kay for the magazine Q in '99)
