Teddy Pedergrass – Workin’ It Back – LP

Teddy Pedergrass – Workin’ It Back

Workin’ It Back catches Teddy Pendergrass in his Asylum Records chapter, as his second album for the label after Love Language. The album’s RIAA gold certification points to how strongly this period still connected with U.S. R&B listeners, and the player credits include serious studio firepower: Paul Jackson Jr. on guitar, Neil Stubenhaus on bass, and John Robinson on drums. That makes it a neat snapshot of mid-’80s Pendergrass: commercially successful, professionally crafted, and tied to a deep studio-musician bench. This 1985 vintage vinyl pressing is priced at $10, so at under $15 it’s an affordable way to add an Asylum-era Teddy Pendergrass record to the shelf. The record is graded VG+, a strong everyday listening grade with a few light lines, sleeve marks, or small scuffs expected, but not wear that should dominate the music. Teddy Pedergrass.
