The Intentions - Dig It (Shovel)
Posted on July 21, 2008 by Kris Holmes
This is an interesting soul/funk 45 out of Chicago that would appear to date from about 1969/70. Not much is known about the group & I have been told by different people that they were & weren't the same group that recorded for Blue Light as the Intensions, so that just really confuses things. It has also been mentioned that the group may be related in some way to the Pharaohs that have the Scarab & Capitol 45s? The A side is "Dig It (Shovel)" & it is a great piece of group funk while the flip "Blowing In The Wind" is a sublime piece of sweet soul. Recommended if you like records that sound like East of Underground.

Update: It appears that The Intentions are essentially The Pharaohs under a different name. This 45 is likely to be from around 1971 and their guise of The Intentions doesn't appear to have been used for anything other than this 45. Thanks to Rob Sevier for this extra info.
