She was a model who had her first song published before she was twenty (\"Uptown\" by the \u003cstrong\u003eChambers Brothers\u003c\/strong\u003e) and went on to marry, and divorce, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=miles+davis\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiles Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e before she was 25. She turned Miles on to electric funk (he named several compositions for her) and was tight with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=hendrix\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHendrix\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=sly+stone\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSly \u0026amp; the Family Stone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. Their influences are all over her music and in fact much of her band came from the Sly\/\u003cstrong\u003eGraham Central Station\u003c\/strong\u003e crew. The sound is early 70's Bay Area hard funk, meaning rugged drums (courtesy of \u003cstrong\u003eGregg Errico\u003c\/strong\u003e) and acid-tinged guitar (\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Schon\u003c\/strong\u003e!), that provide many an open break and generally work it all the way through. Her scorching vocals may take a little getting used to for some, but are the perfect match for her bad ass lyrics. This is her first album, and contains what may be her best tune, \"Anti Love Song.\" Sampled aplenty (ol' heads might remember Godfather Don's \"Piece of the Action\") and essential for any Valentines gig. \"If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up\" demonstrates she just didn't give a F long before Marshall. Also take a listen to her on \"Game Is My Middle Name\" and \"Steppin In Her I Miller Shoes.\" This record has a bit more of a rocked out flavor than the next, but Betty Davis' over the top attitude carries the weight easily. 8 tracks total on deluxe coke bottle clear vinyl with fully remastered sound from the original tapes courtesy of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=light+in+the+attic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLITA\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecoke bottle clear colored vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremastered from the original tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes obi strip + 20 page liner note booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Light In The Attic 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Monk 09\/2016\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c!---ALSO AVAILABLE START---\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/betty-davis-they-say-im-different-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBetty Davis: They Say I'm Different - Colored Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/betty-davis-is-it-love-or-desire-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBetty Davis: Is It Love Or Desire - Colored Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---ALSO AVAILABLE END---\u003e","brand":"Betty Davis","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":40426917199962,"sku":"fr-5031","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/bettydavis-st-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762284801","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/betty-davis-betty-davis-colored-vinyl-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
