{"product_id":"slave-show-time","title":"Show Time","description":"Released in 1981, Show Time was the last album that Steve Arrington recorded with Slave. The singer\/drummer had been a valuable part of the Dayton funk combo, providing lead vocals on such hits as \"Watching You\" and \"Just a Touch of Love.\" So you can say that Show Time (which was produced by Jimmy Douglass) was the end of an era for Slave. Creatively, the band was on quite a roll during its Arrington era, and those who had savored 1979's Just a Touch of Love and 1980's Stone Jam found this LP to be equally strong. From \"Smokin'\" and \"Funken Town\" to the single \"Snap Shot,\" Show Time proved to be a consistently rewarding addition to Slave's catalog. All of the tracks are immediately recognizable as Slave offerings; during its Arrington period, Slave favored a very distinctive style of funk that was sleek and gritty at the same time. And even though Arrington wasn't an original member -- he didn't start recording with the band until its third album, The Concept -- he was a main ingredient of the Slave sound from 1978-1981. Show Time is recommended to funk addicts without hesitation. ~ Alex Henderson","brand":"Slave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590171128041,"sku":"JX8D6H-Z6RE-00","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/slave-show-time_MIvWH.jpg?v=1758919829","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/slave-show-time","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
