This particular vinyl room must be filled with every imaginable urban soul 45 and LP that was released between 1968 and 1977, because that is exactly the atmosphere created by this debut album from Sleepy's Theme, part of Organized Noize's Atlanta cadre. Right from the get-go of The Vinyl Room, the vision of huge floppy hats, bell bottoms, and fur coats; Afros; old Lincolns and Cadillacs; and hustlers and players is irrevocably evoked, albeit through a hazy late-'90s light.

It is what made their sound one of the most acclaimed and recognizable of the '90s. Within that context, though, every song lopes along at a weed-stoned pace, with Curtis Mayfield-like falsetto leads, noir-ish spoken wor
