Up for grabs is an original 1978 US 1st Pressing of saxophonist Ronnie Laws’ scintillating fourth studio album, Flame. Identified by the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute mark ("T" etched in runouts), this release via United Artists Records (UA-LA881-H) is a definitive staple of late-70s jazz-funk, R&B fusion, and smooth soul. Building on the massive crossover success of his earlier work, Flame showcases Laws' peerless saxophone phrasing floating over deep, infectious funk grooves and lush soul arrangements. Blending instrumental jazz fusion with vocal R&B, this original Terre Haute pressing is an essential piece for 1970s soul collectors, rare groove crate diggers, and jazz-funk completionists.
