Originally released on the notorious Tiger Lily label, the album was never properly released at the time and most copies were destroyed before they could hit record store shelves. The album, recorded in New York between 1975 and '76, is also \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Chic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eChic\u003c\/a\u003e's earliest recording -- or The Big Apple Band as the group was known, which Robert Cotter was fronting at the time alongside fellow musicians \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Nile+Rodgers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eNile Rodgers\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Bernard+Edwards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBernard Edwards\u003c\/a\u003e, Tony Thompson, and Robert Sabino. The album features a wide array of styles, from the funk of the title track and 'Disco Blues' to the soulful acoustic feel of 'Three Wise Men' and the conga-led mid-tempo groove of 'God Bless The Soulfire People'. The two Big Apple Band tracks, 'Love Rite' and 'Saturday' are not only great, but also give an insight into the origin of the Chic sound. These songs are historically invaluable as the group's only recordings just before it morphed into Chic (a remake of 'Saturday' would actually become a hit for Norma Jean Wright two years later produced by Rodgers\/Edwards). The album finishes with the incredible 'Come On With It,' a politically-charged diatribe against Nixon featuring a darker psychedelic edge. When the album was pressed, Cotter got a few copies and never really heard back from the label. He moved on with his career -- performing and recording for various other labels -- and never really looked back on his debut album.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Wewantsounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eWewantsounds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edeleted 1976 debut album from NYC funk singer featuring early production from \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Nile+Rodgers\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Nile+Rodgers\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNile Rodgers\u003c\/a\u003e + \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Bernard+Edwards\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Bernard+Edwards\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBernard Edwards\u003c\/a\u003e of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Chic\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Chic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChic\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst time on vinyl in 45 years \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremastered sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeve w\/ extensive liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Wewantsounds 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Robert Cotter","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":39364861689946,"sku":"fr-4493","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/robertcotter-missingyou-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1759282784","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/robert-cotter-missing-you-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
