| Description: | In 1971, after dropping "Fabulous" from their moniker, The Counts delivered their first full-length platter for Westbound Records. What's Up Front That-Counts is indisputably one of the funkiest albums of all time. The conga-led grooves, impassioned vocals and strutting in-the-pocket arrangements are as infectious as they are groovy. The release of this funk classic marks the second installment in Org Music's Westbound Records reissue series, complete with three previously unissued tracks. Working with the original Westbound master tapes at the iconic 54 Sound studio in Detroit, these legendary recordings have been remastered by award winning engineer Dave Gardner with restoration and tape transfers by archival specialist Catherine Vericolli, and additional engineering assistance from in-house 54 Sound engineer Nick King."What's Up Front That-counts" is a classic soul-funk LP by The Counts, originally released in 1971 and now reissued by Org Music. This album stands out for its deep grooves, tight horn arrangements, and infectious rhythms that capture the essence of early '70s funk. Featuring standout tracks like "What's Up Front That-Counts," "Rhythm Changes," and "Thinking Single," the record showcases The Counts' ability to blend soulful melodies with gritty funk instrumentals. The band gained recognition for their energetic performances and unique sound, making them a staple in the Detroit music scene of their era. Over time, this album has become highly sought after among collectors and DJs worldwide.
