Operating in a basement studio at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, pipeline man Howard Neal and his appropriately named Shoestring label was Alton, Illinois' answer to a question no one asked. Pressed in minuscule numbers and barely outside the 62002 zip code, the singles by The James Family, Jimmie Green, Pete & Cheez, and Carletta Sue are prime examples of cosmic midwestern disco in search of a break. This heavy weight 10-song LP is housed in a tip-on sleeve, and includes an essay and imagery that complete the picture of this pure expression of small-town soul. We've Got It Made, Let Yourself Go, You and Me, A Broken Heart Will Mend, Disco Fever, Dance (Part 1), So Smooth, You Keep Holding Back on Love, I Need You So, You're All the Woman I Need, Radio Promo
