Customer Reviews:

the Junie Morrison Era Ohio Players were tight.......2003-03-09

the Westbound Era Ohio Players were Double the Funk&Groove.while they still had There Funk Chops with Mercury on Westbound they came prepared to straight up battle&the jams on this Set prove that&more.the title cut"Food Stamps Y'all" &other cuts here showcase the Rawness&Gut-Bucked Funk of the Players.Junie Morrison is Banging on the Boards.many of His Grooves made there way on many of the early 90's Rap/Hip-Hop Cuts.

Good album, not great.......2002-07-13

While recomended, "Ecstasy" is not a good starting point for those seeking early Westbound era Ohio Players. This album has tremendous strong points, but overall it lacks consistency and focus. I like this album. You should buy this album. But "Pain" and the compilation entitled "Orgasm" should be considered first. If you are new to Westbound Records, The Ohio Players is going to have to wait- Funkadelic's "Funkadelic" is most definately THE best funk album of all time and a necessary introduction to The Ohio Players' "Pain", "Pleasure", and "Ecstasy" recordings.

Junie Morrison style Players..........2000-05-01

...quantum pocket time. That is, you had to have been there to know. Nineteen seventy three, we were playing the heck outta Morrison's/Ohio Player's "Ecstacy" with that just right funky guitar and bass and organ intro by Sugar, Jones and Junie and always complained that at 2 minutes and thirty some odd seconds it was too short... those of us with the album laughed at the chutzpah associated with the title of the opening jam on side 2--"Food Stamps Y'all"...the slow cut in the streets off the album was "Silly Billy", a little mellower than that other great slow jam from the "Pleasure" album "Varee is Love", but hey, back then, a new Players jam was the talk of the streets...after this the Players had a Westbound Records greatest hits album and then they moved to Mercury Records to put out "Skin Tight"--they lost Junie in the transition, but shortly afterward his Player stint, he worked with Clinton and P-funk and did his own work, most notably the album "Bread Alone"...this album "Ecstacy" has some of the Players best Westbound Records work on it--it is hard to find, a rare treasure for true funk fans...
