Missing tracks - wha's up wid dat?
Epic Records scrambled the song order and deleted three tracks from the original 15 on the double LP vinyl release. The missing tracks are - "Off The Planet" (3:10), "Christopher Ivanhoe" (3:22), and the sizzling hard rocker "All About" (5:15).

And DOES he play...
...when the CD generation came about, this is one of the first CDs--of an album I useta jam in my college years--I purchased. It predated Zapp's vocoder style by about a year, plus, that other Stanley was nowheres in sight. You can hear the Duke/Clarke project coming into fruition, Dee Dee Bridgewater was getting more into her jazzy vocal stylings, and it has some of the best session players out at the time--Harvey Mason, Freddie Hubbard, Tom Scott, Lee Ritenour, Steve Gadd and a cast of greats. And just to show you how versatile he really can get is the jam "Blues for Mingus", where our hero goes acoustic. A great jazz album, one I think, have/will stand the test of time...

FUTURISTIC!!!
Stanley Clarke has proved himself worthy of the respect of all music lovers abroad with this album. 'I WANNA PLAY FOR YOU' is a mixture of funk, rock, middle of the road, ect. It also catches him in some of his best live performances. The title track alone is worth a good listen to. It sounds like something from the future. Well, the future from 1979. With It's thumping bass, phat beat, and of course the funk it sounds like something Ice Cube would sample. Also, the live perfomances of ROCK 'N' ROLL JELLY, JAMAICAN BOY, (w/Jeff Beck), & HOT FUN are worth being played over & over again. If you purchase the CD, Tape, or for you vinyl lovers, the double album, it is worth the money! You may be suprised at the other artist that are also featured on this album.
