Are You Man Enough?

"One of the toughest soundtracks to come from the early '70s' Black action cinema movement. The core of the soundtrack is The Tops' "Are You Man Enough"; here, Levi isn't beggin' for her to come back, but for you to come correct. The magnificent Johnny Pate fleshes out the album with his score, with the opening track "You Can't Even Walk In The Park" one of the most blistering jazz funk soundtrack cuts around.
The mini-LP jacket is a nice reminder of why we bought records - the feel of the jacket in your hands, the artwork, slipping the inner sleeve out, putting the record on, and getting lost in the album for about 40 minutes. Right on, right on.
