1619 Bad Ass Band World / For Your Love CD

The 1619 Bad Ass Band were a soul funk aggregation that hailed from New Jersey and played gigs around the tri-state area of New York - New Jersey - Philadelphia in the mid to late 1970's. The band was formed by Khalid Abdul Shalid, who played keyboards and wrote most of the band's material along with bass player Karl Harris. Harris' younger sister Phyllis was the main vocalist with the band. Their self-titled album from 1976 is one of the most sought after records on the rare 1970's soul scene and vinyl copies of the album remain scarce. Even rarer is an early single the band released nearly 3 years before their full length debut. Originally released in 1973, "World" b/w "For Your Love" is presented here newly remastered from the original 7" vinyl mixes and finally available in the digital domain.
