{"product_id":"betty-davis_is-it-love-or-desire_2023_lba","title":"Is It Love Or Desire","description":"BETTY DAVIS is surely one of the most underrated female artists in rock history. A model in the mid-60s, she met MILES DAVIS in 1966 and married him in 1968. She influenced Miles' work, notably on the album \"Les Filles du Killimanjaro\" and the song \"Mademoiselle Mabry\", Betty Mabry being her real name. Miles would later thank her for introducing him to the rock and psychedelic funk of JIMI HENDRIX and SLY STONE, which greatly influenced him, especially for \"Bitches Brew\". But their marriage lasted only a year, Miles finding her \"too young and wild\" for him. After her divorce, she began writing songs, setting them to music with the help of musicians from the FAMILY STONE, SANTANA, and TOWER OF POWER. Each of her albums released in the 70s were bitter commercial failures, which is why they are so hard to find today. And yet all her albums, notably 'Nasty Gal' and 'Is It Love Or Desire' which Light In The Attic is reissuing today (after already reissuing 'Betty Davis' and 'They Say I'm Different' in 2007), are true funk bombs laced with rock and soul. On an unstoppable funk rock groove, Betty Davis' colorful and extroverted personality explodes through a powerful, gravelly, and devilishly sexy voice. \"Is It Love Or Desire\" is a hidden gem. Mastered from the original tapes and untouched for over 30 years, the album was never released due to a conflict between BETTY DAVIS and her label. Delivered with its original cover and including archival texts and recent interviews with DAVIS and her favorite band, FUNK HOUSE. Never copied, never released, never heard until now, this album will finally be able to enter the annals and seal in history the priceless musical contribution of this 'Soul Sister'.","brand":"Betty Davis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57475771892056,"sku":null,"price":20230929.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0826853004718.jpg?v=1780957895","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/betty-davis_is-it-love-or-desire_2023_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
