Featuring incredible musicians like tenor saxophonist Dave Hubbard, organist Lonnie Smith's 1970 album Drives was a refined balance of ambition, technical jazz prowess and deep funk grooves. Alongside the Parliament Funkadelic style tracks, the record also includes a cover of Miles Davis' 'Seven Steps to Heaven'.

Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition LP is stereo, all-analogue, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl.
