Gap Band VII is the ninth album (contrary to the title) by The Gap Band, released in 1985 on Total Experience Records. The album includes the single from original Jerry Peters's song "Going In Circles". As AllMusic's Amy Hanson said in her review of the album, "The band was quickly back to business across the eminently catchy tunes "Automatic Brain" and "Ooh, What a Feeling," leaving both "L'il Red Funkin' Hood" and "Bumpin' Gum People," which features funkier vocals than listeners had heard from the band in quite some time, to round out the set with some good-old Gap Band sonics. Elsewhere, the band pulled a quiet storm trick out of their bag on "I Know We'll Make It"."

The album was expanded and remastered in April 29, 2013 by Big Break Records including 6 additional bonus tracks.
