First of all, this self titled LP can be a good replacement if you desperately search for the 12" Can You Get Down / Serious.
Besides both tracks, the rest of the LP is also, IMO, quality disco/funk. It's all very lively and you can tell that the band is enjoying it, moreover the production is very tight. Check the first track on side A, "Central Park" that can only be found on this LP.
