LP version. "Drum-machine soul, funk, disco and boogie from Buffalo, NYC. Rare 7' singles and previously unreleased tracks presented as an album for the first time. In the early '70s, Jessie Key and Sylvester Cleary - two passionate idealists living in Buffalo, New York - formed a close friendship based on a mutual mission to better their city. The Attica State Prison Riot of 1971 was a burning memory, and the Arthur vs. Nyquist lawsuit - brought against the City of Buffalo for creating and maintaining a racially segregated school system - was on the docket. Key was once a cotton-laborer in Mississippi, who journeyed north for school where he met his kindred spirit, Cleary. The two struck up an intense friendship, bought a drum machine and recorded their first 45, 'A Man', a paean to self-actualization and Black American empowerment, which they custom pressed and issued privately. Dozens of recordings followed over a decade-long span, issued on local labels and warehoused on cassette tapes. Perennial optimists, Key & Cleary tried any - perhaps every! - path they could demarcate in hopes of forwarding their agenda of self-effected, positive change. They formed Buffalo's first minority-owned construction company, opened a health food restaurant in a building previously occupied by a fast food chain, and even concocted a candy bar called 'The Buffalo Treat', which they manufactured and sold locally. Eventually they started their own label, Buffalo's Reflection. On it they released their masterpiece, What It Takes To Live, a sought-after disco and Northern Soul classic, which previously appeared on Now-Again's Soul Cal anthology. This album collates the breadth of Key & Cleary's recordings from 1970 until the mid-1980s, both the songs issued on rare 7' singles and previously unreleased. It presents a conjoined musical vision and tells the story of a duo years ahead of their time, both musically and culturally. Love Is The Way was their ethos; their goal was to enlighten humanity and to bend history in a more loving direction through communion."

Very flattering
Color: Boho Print 03, Size: X-Large
Great shirts! I have a large bust, and they still look great! They're comfortable and don't cling, and they're machine wash and tumble dry low. This is my third one, and I may buy more.

Great shorts at a great price!
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
Great shorts for a great price. Needed to replace a few pairs of my gym shorts but didn’t want to spend $40+ on a pair. Found these and decided to give them a try. Since getting my first pair I’ve bought 4 more in different colors and have been wearing them daily. They fit great, true to size. Love the zippered pockets so I’m keeping my phone & wallet secure. Extremely lightweight & fast drying. These work great for gym or just casual shorts. 10/10 would recommend.

Nice shorts, fabrics thin but a great fit.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green, Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Light Green
These are nice shorts, free flowing thin but not too thin. Feel nice wearing, easy to move around in them. I like the zipper pockets, things don’t fall out of my pockets now when driving or hiking. These are great wearing while walking, hiking or jogging, really durable. Material is thinner than I’m use to but still nice. These have nice elastic waistband plus a tie, I like this. These are great wearing while playing basketball, has nice are flow and lets skin breath.

Great, comfortable athletic wear. As comfortable as boxers.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Olive
These are my new favorite shorts. The fabric is durable, but light and breathable. The waistband is comfortable, and the drawstrings are good quality. I like the zippers on the pockets, which are also good quality, and are easy to grasp thanks to a rubber coating. There's also no static cling with these shorts, like what I get from the polyester shorts from wallyworld. If I had to nitpick, it would be concerning the design/fit of the front of the shorts. There's no pleat, or crotch, and this creates a slight "poochy" look, this also makes them more roomy, and easy to move around in though as well. I liked them enough to buy 4 more pair, and that's all you need to know. They wash well, and don't shrink.
