Why This Record Matters
Monkey Island is the J. Geils Band’s 1977 studio album and the group’s final release for Atlantic Records. The album features guest contributions from Cissy Houston, Luther Vandross, Michael and Randy Brecker, and other New York session musicians. Its nine-minute title track expands the band’s blues-rock foundation with horns, backing vocals, and extended instrumental passages.

Collector Note
