inclined to vote "Craps" here because it's arguably the most fun thing on the list.

Invasion of the Booty Snatchers - Parlet. Very solid late-period P-Funk "girl group" album. "You're Leaving" is really good, also "Huff n Puff".

Yeah, I was about to compliment the Parlet purchase. I don't think I've ever listened to Craps, but Pryor is never not worth a gamble.

Sun Goddess by Ramsey Lewis was new to me as of last year, but I love the hell out of it now.
