Slaughter's Big Rip-Off [Original Soundtrack]

Released

Slaughter’s Big Rip Off was largely composed and arranged by JBs trombonist and band leader Fred Wesley and includes ‘Transmographication’ from Wesley’s aborted solo album project. Elsewhere you get plenty of JBs funk with the irresistible descending chords of ‘People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul’ and the intricate street-funk of ‘Slaughter Theme’ particular standouts. Vocalist Lyn Collins makes the most of her one track with an impressive performance on the slinky ballad ‘How Long Can I Keep It Up.’ Made up of songs rather than ‘chase scene’/’love scene’ tracks, ‘Slaughter…’ sounds more like a decent JBs/James Brown album than a film soundtrack.
