Freeze (Vinyl LP)

In the wake of their hit, ‘Funky Worm’, the Ohio Players quit Westbound Records and keyboard and vocal wizard Junie quit the Ohio Players. He immediately set out on a solo career that was less commercial than his erstwhile colleagues, but musically intriguing. He recorded three solo albums for Westbound, with Freezebeing the immediate follow up to his debut When We Do. Recorded at the world-famous Ardent Studio in Memphis, it saw Junie play every instrument, from a traditional rhythm section to a barrage of the latest synthesizer technology. The result was an avant- funk masterpiece that ranged from the sublime ’Not As Good As You Should’ to the wild ‘Granny’s Funky Rolls Royce’ which reprised the worm character and was later sampled by DJ Shadow.

Junie would later join Funkadelic, originating their biggest international hit, ‘One Nation Under A Groove’, and touring the world. He died in 2017, a year after Solange and Andre 3000 from Outkast lauded him on the track ‘Junie’ from Solange’s Grammy winning album A Seat At The Table.

The album is reissued in a facsimile of its original cover, and is reissued for the first time ever.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
