Collectors often floss this record as a central piece and it always has a place on the record store wall. But what's the true appeal? It kinda falls into the \u003cstrong\u003eEugene McDaniels\u003c\/strong\u003e category of \"good music vs. rare music.\" Coincidentally, Terry sounds like a cross between \u003cstrong\u003eRev. McDaniels\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJon Lucien\u003c\/strong\u003e in the folk\/jazz\/soul vein. The album is definitely vocal central, so that is the first decision point. You like his voice or you don't. This record is not outright funky; the funkiest it gets is \"You Goin to Miss Your Candyman\" which is more of a folky funky. If it ain't about the instrumentation it must be like some to-die-for soul, right? Well, I gave it some listens and I'm left somewhere in the middle of confused. I found Terry's voice moving at times, like over the acoustics on \"Dancing Girl\" or the smooth sound of \"Just as Long as We're in Love.\" I even like the fluffy \"I'd Rather Be with You.\" But at the same time a little voice is telling me that it's melodramatic crap. I might hold onto it, cause if I were an old man in a Prozac commercial, I might want to fling open my french doors and take in deep breath in the beaming sunlight with this blasting in the speakers... or maybe I wouldn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g black vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1972\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Music On Vinyl 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by the mgmnt 10\/2005\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Terry Callier","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":42760220475482,"sku":"lp-17061","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/terrycallier-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1768597045","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/terry-callier-what-color-is-love-180g-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
