Reviewer:"paulkristi" (Mount Prospect, Illinois United States) I am giving this C.D 5 stars because I really like the group. They had a ton of talent however the odds were stacked against them. Just like The Peanut Butter Conspiracy of the same time, they were warriors in the San Francisco Vs. L.A. sound (both aforemetioned groups from L.A). Unfortunatly at that particular time there was a flood of girl/guy folk rock harmony groups, just think, The Mojo Men,The vejatables,The Great Society,WE 5, The Neighborhood Childr'en,The Stone Poneys,Eternitys Childre

One of the most popular smooth soul groups
of the early '70s didn't hail from Philadelphia or Memphis, the two
cities known for sweet, string-laden soul. Instead, the Chi-Lites were
from Chicago, a town better known for its gritty urban blues and
driving RB. Led by vocalist Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites had a lush,
creamy sound distinguished by their four-part harmonies and layered
productions. During the early '70s, they racked up11 Top Ten RB singles,
ranging from the romantic ballads "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl" to
protest songs like "(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People" and
"There Will Never Be Any Peace (Until God Is Seated at the Conference
Table)."

Al Green was the first great soul singer in the 70's.
This
album definitely sets the standard of what we call today Smooth Soul.
Al Green is a timeless testamony of love and happiness. Yes Al we're
still in love with your music.
Lurking behind the mausoleum in the moss-strewn cemetery, a hypnotic rhythm can be heard at the strike of midnight. Pulsating sexual tones, throbbing and tempting you to a trance like state while begging you to join the dance of the dead.
Who are these cryptic crypt dwellers? Alas, the story unfolds!
First up are the Prisoners andtheir 1982 album that launched the band, pressed up originally on their own Own-Up label. The first Prisoners album I ever bought was actually their second LP, Thewizermizerdemelza, but after loving that so much I immediately set out to find the first one. Thinner in sound that any of their subsequent albums, this one captures all the energy and youthfulness of a band finding their sound and is perhaps their most"... Read more »

Farmyard were a Wellington group who were around only for a short time from 1970 to 1971. Rick White, previously of the Relics and Tom Thumb, started with the group but was later replaced by Bernard Lee. Their first single for Polydor in 1970 was "Learnin' 'bout Living"/"Da Woirks". It was successful enough to gain entry in to the 1971 Loxene Gold Disk Awards. A self-titled album was also released and came in a plastic bag with a poster. A second single "Nothing's Happening Here"/"Me, The Dog, Ma And Dear Ol' Dad" also came out in 1970 and was included on their second album call

July '75 and a band called CHROME were sculling around the third rate pub circuit long before Mr Rotten and Co. had pissed in their first ash tray. Ted Carroll looked at the Melody Maker gig guide(erama), pushed his glasses back up his nose and decided that with a name like that they had to be the first band on CHISWICK RECORDS. A week later, accompanied by diminutive partner, Roger Armstrong, he slunk into a seedy pub in Highbury and was confronted by four mean looking characters playing Chuck Berry riffs as if their lives depended on it. To the right,

A
loose concept album about the consequences of a love affair with a
married man, viewed from various sides. The opening suite "If Lovin' You Is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right/The Rap," a raid on Isaac Hayes's string-heavy slow funk stew, is one of the greatest recordings I've ever heard,

Their first full length, two singles and self titled EP (the EP is by all means impeccable) here for download. This is a somewhat electronic post-punk version of The Sound. Great use of drum machine. Highly recommended!
Second Layer was an electronic-based outlet for the Sound's Adrian Borland
and Graham Bailey. Borland supplied guitars and vocals while Bailey
provided keyboards, bass, and drum programming. The full length World
