E-Jon [1982] - Tricky Sticky Situation [Apex Record Productions #DT-2981]

It really is a very slow week for good quality new releases so far this week so, rather than posting sub standard music just because it's new,  I'll continue to feature some hidden gems.

This one is for DJ Kool Keith who suggested I should 'find my own' rather than cherry pick from shows. To an extent he has a point and I am more than capable of selecting some hidden gems from the bottomless pit.

Here's one I have only just come across that was previously unknown to me so possibly also to many others.

I believe "Tricky Sticky Situation" is from 1982 as that's the date of  the album with the same name from which the single was taken. It's a one-off single and album released on Apex Records Productions by E.Jon (aka Elijah Jones) who was a one-time member of Instant Funk who were from Trenton, NJ, which is where the Apex label was based. I suspect that the label could well have been his own (or a private press) given that no other material seems to have been released on it.

Four of the tracks on the album, including this one, were later released (1986) with some new material for an album "In The Land Of Making Love", another one-off on a label called Showell.

If you like 'em 'deep 'n sweet', then this is one's for you .
