Mokie J.J. and R.O.B. – speed of light


Of course the cover grabbed my attention when I saw this one. This is a funky soul lp on the small private label Sun Moon and Stars outta Hollywood, CA. circa ’72. My favorite tracks on this are “maybe”, “beverly” and “forgotten”. To be honest though, the rest of the album is not that great due to Mokie’s overbearing vocals. Lamont Johnson is all over this album too. They give special thanks to L. Ron Hubbard on the back cover. Also from the back cover: “Mokie is short for Monica. J.J. is short for Michael. R.O.B. is short for Larry. Together they’re together. They’re groovy. They’re funky. They’re Monsters! Dig them. Dig their music. We do. They communicate… with the speed of light.” Uh, okay guys, whatever.
