• Track Listing

Portland funk outfit Pleasure were signed to Fantasy in hopes that the eight-piece band would be the label’s answer to the mega-selling acts Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool & The Gang. Although they didn’t achieve a similar level of popularity, the quality of their music definitely was on par, especially on this, their sophomore effort from 1976. Produced by jazz trombonist Wayne Henderson, the nine cuts include their first R&B hit, the laid-back Ghettos of the Mind; the jazz classic 2 for 1, and the storming, self-explanatory booty-shaker Let’s Dance, a collaboration with label mates Side Effect. Pleasure indeed!
