Tough to find 1970 soul/funk LP out of San Francisco on the small Studio 10 label

FUNKiNess!

Hear tracks directly from this LP below

Leon's Creation, from San Francisco - led by a very young Leon Patillo - were somewhat more underground, gritty contemporaries of kindred spirits, Sly and The Family Stone, across the Bay in Oakland, yet with just as strong of a Psych/Funk punch. They released this album in 1970 on the small Studio 10 label. This is a fantastic psychedelic soul/funk record that has simply slipped through the cracks.

This was Leon Patillo's debut recording; he would later join Santana, as well as working with a host of other groups including Funkadelic, eventually hosting his own weekly TBS Television show, then going full-on into Christian music, becoming a minister - and for years was the pastor at the Rock House Church on the historic Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

This earliest LP is solid SF Bay Area Psych/Funk?!
