Casual-T - Prescriptions For Love LP [P-Vine Japan]

Format: 12" LP + Obi - First Edition.

Released in 1982 on Rita Marley Music, the label owned by Bob Marley's wife Rita Marley, CASUAL-T's Prescriptions For Love is a record shrouded in mystery. Its smooth atmosphere, charming artwork, and extreme rarity due to the limited run make it a coveted piece for collectors, representing the best of modern soul and rare groove.

The album is imbued with the essence of early 80s American modern soul and disco, beginning with the energetic opening track Don’t Play With Sparks (M1), reminiscent of EW&F for its horns and backing vocals. Other highlights include the disco-infused groove on Hands Off (M2), the freshness of All Out Of Breath (M3), and the touch of urban soul on Thank You For Your Love (M7), featuring characteristic 80s synthesizers. The only reggae-style track in the Rita Marley Music catalog, I Want You Here With Me (M8), showcases sophisticated choral arrangements and leads into the sweet soul ballads Let’s Hold On (M9) and You Never Walk Alone (M10), which close the record.

This exceptional modern soul album has been remastered for the first time and is available on CD worldwide, along with its first official vinyl reissue.
