. By the way, this album is called "Curtis" available on Charly in the UK and is
. one of his best from that era (early '70s).

. I just bought a Curtis CD with the long version of Move On Up on and it is
. absolutely FANTASTIC. Even better than Move On Up is the track Don't Worry
. (if there's hell below we're all gonna go).

Both Move On Up (long) and (Don't Worry) If There's A Hell Below We're All Gonna Go
are on "Get Down To The Funky Groove" - a compilation also on Charly UK.

There's another album called "Of All Time" which claims to have the long version
of Move On Up on it but doesn't! I was so issed poff when I discovered that -
luckily the disc was scratched (!) so the shop took it back.

But "Of All Time" served a purpose - it introduced me to If There's A Hell Below...
and the even better Tripping Out (short version). Then I discovered 'Something
To Believe In' with Tripping Out (long) and Love Me Love Me Now. I could
seriously get into this guy. Or rather, I could seriously get into this music ;-)
