It’s in conversation with Isaac Hayes’ own output of the era — Hot Buttered Soul especially — but where Hayes blew up the R\u0026amp;B form by throwing a bomb into it, helping create funk in the process, Porter worked more firmly in R\u0026amp;B’s space to build something new from within. …Into a Real Thing is a six-song powerhouse that manages to cram an 11-minute cover of a garage rock hit by the guy who’d later write Hulk Hogan’s entrance song alongside gut-bucket ballads with intricate string arrangements, and metaphorical tracks that compare grocery delivery to lovemaking. Its 33 minutes feel more like a fever dream than most other collections of 33 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Me Please","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50495781208395,"sku":"2225057","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_d7505d60_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727714558"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/david-porter.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
