I have been listening to this group's sole LP for Motown on YouTube, Stop The World - We Wanna Get On [[a completely awful and irrelevant title, don't let it put you off!) and, well, it is FANTASTIC! I have to say what an amazing group these guys were.
I should say, the album is as diverse as it is brilliant, with doo-wop-inspired balladry [["One Day" and "Yesterday's Love Is Over"), psychedelic funk at its finest [["You Gotta Sacrifice" and "Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin"), some classic mid-tempo Motown [["If I Could Give You The World" and "Would You Take A Dime From A Poor Man?") and a couple of stellar covers [["What Does It Take [[To Win Your Love)" and "You've Made Me So Very Happy") thrown in too. The production by Henry Cosby is just amazing and The Funk Brothers shine throughout!
I believe that Stop The World is available on CD but only in Japan, sadly. I have been considering buying it but am not sure [[I think it is quite expensive and the writing's all in Japanese!!!)... I was thinking about just waiting for an official US/UK release but this is probably unlikely in the near future... [[?)
So I was wondering if anyone had bought the Japanese CD and what the sound quality is like? Thanks
