Their second album, »They Say I'm Different«, released in 1974, features a cinematic, futuristic cover that challenges David Bowie's sci-fi funk with real, rocking soul fire, and is introduced with the wildly sexual »Shoo-B-Doop and Cop Him« (later sampled by Ice Cube). Their follow-up is full of classics like »Don't Call Her No Tramp« and the funny, hard, deep funk of »He Was A Big Freak«.
In addition to restoring the incredible original cover art, the albums feature captivating and heart-wrenching liner notes written by author and respected soul musicologist Oliver Wang (O-Dub/Soul Sides), as well as their second interview in decades, making these re-releases a must-have for any soul, progressive punk, or funk-rock collection.Punk-funk provocateur Betty Davis’ 1974 sophomore album They Say I’m Different features a worthy-of-framing futuristic cover challenging David Bowie’s science fiction funk with real rocking soul-fire, kicked off with the savagely sexual “Shoo-B-Doop and Cop Him” (later sampled by Ice Cube). Her follow up is full of classic cuts like “Don’t Call Her No Tramp” and the hilarious, hard, deep funk of “He Was A Big Freak.”
