{"product_id":"walter-thomas-chicago-knights-vinyl","title":"Walter Thomas - Chicago Knights","description":"\u003cp\u003eWalter Thomas's \"\"Chicago Knights\"\" LP features a retrospective of songs written and released between 1987 and 2009, primarily with the Roland 1824 and the Fostex 8-track reel-to-reel. Channeling the spirit of underground soul and dance music specifically rooted within the greater area of Chicago, Illinois-a city known for it's deep and healthy soul and R\u0026amp;B roots-this compilation features 8 of it's 9 tracks on vinyl for the very first time. The intro track \"\"I Wanna Get Witcha\"\" dates back to 1987 and holds a proven track record of kicking off many a dance floor, rocking clubs worldwide in a blur of boogie-funk, disco, and soul. \"\"Immaturity\"\" and both versions of \"\"Fed Up\"\" echo the emotional differences and tensions between lovers in a spat. \"\"Magic City\"\" served as the anthem and homage to it's namesake roller-skating rink in 90s-era Waukegan, IL. While \"\"Chicago Knights\"\" is a relentless mid-tempo groove inspired by the aggressive motorists that dominate Chicago roadways, \"\"2nd Chance\"\" drops the tempo to a slow R\u0026amp;B roll, preaching the ethos of love, peace, and forgiveness. Last but certainly not least, \"\"E\u0026amp;J's\"\" was a real commercial jingle used for a once-legendary BBQ joint, \"\"E\u0026amp;J's,\"\" in Illinois: a short bonus track to close out the LP. These 9 tracks are just a touch of Walter's expansive body of work, and we're stoked to bring them to you on wax.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51620000858407,"sku":"669185337280","price":31.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4497399-3539087.jpg?v=1783683379","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/walter-thomas-chicago-knights-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
