ecstasy

First reworking of the Ohio Players final Westbound album in 15 years - upgraded from the original masters. This album saw them capitalise on the success of their big hit Funky Worm of the previous year.

That hit had established them as serious players in the R&B market, something that was to see them through nearly 30 hits in 20 years and a total of five #1s including the evergreen Love Rollercoaster. Ecstasy saw the ballad consolidate with a healthy album chart position and the Top 20 chart position of the title track

This reissue includes for the first time on CD 4 tracks from the "Rattlesnake" album that was released by Westbound after the group had signed to Mercury. The tracks here were overdubbed by members of Funkadelic - particularly notable in the guitar. We also have included the previously unissued Trans-Maximus.

In-depth sleeve notes and a full colour 12 page booklet.
