Well, there appears that there is NO entry for my pressing. There is a 73 for the pressing plant (NOT 72) and a very faint SXT in the deadwax. I have NO bloody idea which pressing this is... -
Edited 4 years agoCameosis & Feel me are widely regarded as their best 2 albums of this Cameo era before Larry started shacking things up a bit.
I would also like to mention the Knights Of The Sound Table that came out in 81. 3 Cameo albums that are essential listening.

This is a schizophrenic record. The first side is hard funk in the Larry Blackmon style (with a bit of Zapp mixed in for fun); the second side is a mix of sweet soul and "loveman" tracks (the final cut sounds for all the world like an old Delfonics cut). Obviously a band feeling their way at the start of a new decade.
(C) 2015 CAN -
I have a JAPAN CD Edition, under Cat# PHCR-1093, 1st Press, Mercury Records from 1980.
