Hitting your groove right from the first track. Glad to hear that!

Perhaps the next question is Boogaloo or Shing-a-ling?

Whenever I see the name "Mainstream" referring to the label, I wonder what they were getting at. It was mostly soul and jazz (with some rock and soundtracks) but not a lot of what I'd deem crossover mainstream type material. Great label, to be sure, but the name always struck me as a curious choice.

True enough. I guess mainstream was a different thing in the 60s and 70s.

That Elephant Château track was very interesting! Oh my! I think I need that Stevie Wonder soundtrack!

Interesting indeed Scotty. We'll be hearing more cool tracks from that collection in the months ahead. And yeah, the Secret Life Of Plants is a very cool album/soundtrack. I'm not a huge Stevie fan but this release is pretty special.
