By 1972, the group had refined a style that bridged jazz improvisation, R\u0026amp;B drive and funk rhythm, helping define the crossover appeal that made them one of the era’s most accessible instrumental outfits. The album moves between bluesy themes, soulful hooks and muscular ensemble interplay, with the band’s playing kept tight and melodic throughout. It captures the moment when The Crusaders were becoming a major force in jazz-funk, laying groundwork for the wider fusion and urban groove movements that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-crusaders-vinyl-records\"\u003eThe Crusaders\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Thumb Records – SJET-9543~4\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_japan\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk\"\u003eFunk\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-funk\"\u003eJazz-Funk\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rhythm-blues\"\u003eRhythm \u0026amp; Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+That's+How+I+Feel\"\u003eThat'S How I Feel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+So+Far+Away\"\u003eSo Far Away\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Put+It+Where+You+Want+It\"\u003ePut It Where You Want It\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Mystique+Blues\"\u003eMystique Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Full+Moon\"\u003eFull Moon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Sweet+Revival\"\u003eSweet Revival\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Mud+Hole\"\u003eMud Hole\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+It's+Just+Gotta+Be+That+Way\"\u003eIt'S Just Gotta Be That Way\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eC4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Georgia+Cottonfield\"\u003eGeorgia Cottonfield\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+A+Shade+Of+Blues\"\u003eA Shade Of Blues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Three+Children\"\u003eThree Children\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Crusaders+Mosadi+(Woman)\"\u003eMosadi (Woman)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Blue Thumb Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44385422934081,"sku":"2384717","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/My0zMTAwLmpwZWc_14DmL7p.jpg?v=1786519856","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/the-crusaders-crusaders-1-325882","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
