Delve into the rich history of funk music with Jeff Phelps’ Magnetic Eyes. Raised near a steel mill in Western Pennsylvania, Phelps’ journey into music began with the groundbreaking Tascam Portastudio in 1984. Armed with a Roland SH-101 synthesizer, a Fender Rhodes piano, and a basic Radio Shack mic, he crafted his first commercial productions on his Engineered For Sound label. Though the initial releases in 1985, including the iconic Magnetic Eyes LP, didn’t yield significant profits, Phelps’ passion for music never wavered.
This 2021 edition of Magnetic Eyes features a previously unreleased second mix, ensuring a flawless listening experience. Perfectly blending elements of funk and soul, this vinyl record is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the scene, this artist-approved version is a celebration of a visionary techno-adjacent masterwork.
