Lights Out
Take It/tonight
Singer Andy Stokes, billed as the 'Northwest King of Soul Music,' may have recently worked with such industry luminaries as Snoop Dogg but, way back in the late '70s, he was fronting a hopeful jazz-funk group struggling to break into even just the Oregon circuit. Despite boasting members from internationally successful acts like Fantasy Records' own Pleasure, Lights Out never saw their one demo - cut in 1982 for the well-established Solar Records - even get a promo pressing. Two of the tightest and busiest of their dancefloor wreckers from the session now grace their only 7" to date. First time ever on 7" 45rpm vinyl, dinked centre hole with picture sleeve, 500 numbered copies only.
