for some reason @beamo23 @antidote I think you will like this even though it may not even be on your radar. It's the first release from the Stepney family estate. Their father passed in 1975 when they were children and they want people to know the legacy he left behind with the musicianship arranging and writing abilities of this man who mostly worked in the background on credits of many many influential records including Earth Wind & Fire. Read the description to understand why this is an amazing find.
Will peep later
just looking at future releases on a music store site
Here's a great overview article on the history:

Wow 90 other master tapes, the Stepney family we don't deserve them for holding out this long. Hip Hop industry needs to know about this archival historical moment.
@sentient_sherm_bag you notice the drum machine. So Sly Shuggie and Stepney were hip to using the drum machine sounds that early. It makes you wonder who else used it for rhythm tracks back then.
