Channeling the spirit of underground soul and dance music specifically rooted within the greater area of Chicago, Illinois-a city known for it's deep and healthy soul and R\u0026amp;B roots-this compilation features 8 of it's 9 tracks on vinyl for the very first time. The intro track \"I Wanna Get Witcha\" dates back to 1987 and holds a proven track record of kicking off many a dance floor, rocking clubs worldwide in a blur of boogie-funk, disco, and soul. \"Immaturity\" and both versions of \"Fed Up\" echo the emotional differences and tensions between lovers in a spat. \"Magic City\" served as the anthem and homage to it's namesake roller-skating rink in 90s-era Waukegan, IL. While \"Chicago Knights\" is a relentless mid-tempo groove inspired by the aggressive motorists that dominate Chicago roadways, \"2nd Chance\" drops the tempo to a slow R\u0026amp;B roll, preaching the ethos of love, peace, and forgiveness. Last but certainly not least, \"E\u0026amp;J's\" was a real commercial jingle used for a once-legendary BBQ joint, \"E\u0026amp;J's,\" in Illinois: a short bonus track to close out the LP. These 9 tracks are just a touch of Walter's expansive body of work, and we're stoked to bring them to you on wax.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 I Wanna Get Witcha \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Immaturity \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Magic City \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Chicago Knights \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Fed Up \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Fed Up (Rap Version) \u003cbr\u003e1.7 2nd Chance \u003cbr\u003e1.8 E;J's\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Walter Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43661963329603,"sku":"46053213","price":7.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9847\/3539\/files\/4497399-3539087.jpg?v=1786532343","url":"https:\/\/sonirecords.com\/products\/walter-thomas-chicago-knights-vinyl-lp","provider":"MAILE LOR60x16RAINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
