LP version. "Drum-machine soul, funk, disco and boogie from Buffalo, NYC. Rare 7' singles and previously unreleased tracks presented as an album for the first time. In the early '70s, Jessie Key and Sylvester Cleary - two passionate idealists living in Buffalo, New York - formed a close friendship based on a mutual mission to better their city. The Attica State Prison Riot of 1971 was a burning memory, and the Arthur vs. Nyquist lawsuit - brought against the City of Buffalo for creating and maintaining a racially segregated school system - was on the docket. Key was once a cotton-laborer in Mississippi, who journeyed north for school where he met his kindred spirit, Cleary. The two struck up an intense friendship, bought a drum machine and recorded their first 45, 'A Man', a paean to self-actualization and Black American empowerment, which they custom pressed and issued privately. Dozens of recordings followed over a decade-long span, issued on local labels and warehoused on cassette tapes. Perennial optimists, Key & Cleary tried any - perhaps every! - path they could demarcate in hopes of forwarding their agenda of self-effected, positive change. They formed Buffalo's first minority-owned construction company, opened a health food restaurant in a building previously occupied by a fast food chain, and even concocted a candy bar called 'The Buffalo Treat', which they manufactured and sold locally. Eventually they started their own label, Buffalo's Reflection. On it they released their masterpiece, What It Takes To Live, a sought-after disco and Northern Soul classic, which previously appeared on Now-Again's Soul Cal anthology. This album collates the breadth of Key & Cleary's recordings from 1970 until the mid-1980s, both the songs issued on rare 7' singles and previously unreleased. It presents a conjoined musical vision and tells the story of a duo years ahead of their time, both musically and culturally. Love Is The Way was their ethos; their goal was to enlighten humanity and to bend history in a more loving direction through communion."

Good value for the money.
Color: Ivory
This is a very good quality set. The plastic is sturdy and the colors are nice. The soap dispenser has a good capacity and shouldn't need refilling very often. The wastebasket is smaller than the one I was using which was rated as a 4 gallon size. I would say this one is about half that. The toilet brush was in 3 parts and was easy to screw together. Since I don't use bar soap, I popped out the drain insert from the soap dish and used the base to put the dispenser in. That will keep it from dripping soap on my counter. All in all, good value for money and I will buy a second set.

Happy with purchase
Color: Ivory
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the set. It seems sturdy and durable. The colors were just as pictured and very nice. The brush handle is a bit short, but that is okay. It took me a minute to get the lid flap in place, however, once I got it on it works as expected. A decent value.
