The Tymes
Grace & Savour-The Complete Trustmaker & People Albums
SHOUT56
Released 26/10/09. When the ear-catching Philly doo-wop combination of Ms Grace hit the top of the UK charts on RCA in January 1975, it marked a return to the best-sellers in the third phase of the career of The Tymes. Previously they had enjoyed a UK hit with their up-beat version of Funny Girl show-tune People on CBS/Direction in 1968 (while their chart history had begun with shuffling beat-ballads So Much In Love and Wonderful Wonderful on Parkway Records in 1963) This Shout! release marks the first CD re-issue of the albums which followed the respective RCA and CBS hits, Trustmaker bringing the group to the youth market in the early 70 s, and People employing a similar formula to their Parkway albums with a mixture of show and movie tunes plus a sprinkling of distinctive originals. The package carries the seal of approval of original Tymes member Al Caesar Berry.

The Chi-Lites
Happy Being Lonely / The Fantastic Chi-Lites(SMCR25004)
The Fantasticは一度国内盤でCD化されたが、
2in1での再発は有り難い。
Eugene Recordの居ないThe Chi-Litesもまた良し。
Released on 15/11/10. This two-on-one CD features two rare albums by the much-loved vocal group, THE CHI-LITES, recorded for Mercury Records in the mid- 70s.
Based in Chicago, THE CHI-LITES enjoyed a run of hits in the late 60s and early 70s for Brunswick Records that included classics like Oh Girl and Have You Seen Her? After lead producer/writer Eugene Record left the group to pursue a solo career, THE CHI-LITES switched labels, moving to Mercury for August 1976 sessions produced by the group ‘s Marshall Thompson which resulted in the group ‘s debut album for the label, Happy Being Lonely.
Among the musicians featured on Happy Being Lonely are members of the Earth, Wind & Fire horn section (Louis Satterfield and Donald Myrick), Chicago stalwart and album co-producer Tom-Tom Washington, famed saxman Willie Henderson and super-guitarist Phil Upchurch; and singer Barbara Acklin on background vocals.
Key tracks on Happy Being Lonely include a version of The Spinners Games People Play, Vanishing Love (written by soul music hero Sam Dees), the title cut (penned by Motown writers Kathy Wakefield and Ken Hirsch) and the single Love Can Be Hazardous.
Happy Being Lonely - Happy Being Lonely / Love Can Be Hazardous / If I’ve Ever Needed You / Vanishing Love / I Turn Away / Let Your Love Fall Like Rain / Don’t Blame The world / Message To The World / Games People Play / The Fantastic Chi-Lites - My First Mistake / If I Had A Girl / Who Sin Love With Me / Let’s Touch / Love At Its Best / Bubbling, Babbling Fool / Suddenly / Stop Still / I’ve Got Love On My Mind
