Ohio Players - Pleasure

Released in 1972 by Westbound Records, Pleasure captures the Ohio Players in a raw, experimental phase—just before their breakout success.

Blending gritty funk, psychedelic soul, and bold arrangements, the album includes standout tracks like “Funky Worm,” later heavily sampled in hip-hop. A fusion of tight musicianship and rebellious spirit, this reissue is an essential piece in the puzzle of 1970s funk evolution.
