From The Second Disc.com:
Back in late January, we shared news of Philadelphia International Records’ 50th anniversary plans. The centerpiece of the campaign announced by Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings was a series of fifteen CD box sets via the U.K.-based United Souls/Snapper Music presenting every PIR album in chronological order. The first of those box sets hit stores in late May, and now the second volume has been announced for November 19 release.
The slipcased, 8-CD/1-12″ single hardcover book-style set entitled Satisfaction Guaranteed: The Sound of Philadelphia International Records Vol. 2 will feature the following eight albums, originally released in 1973:



  • Billy Paul, Feelin’ Good at the Cadillac Club [Philadelphia International KZ 32119];
  • The O’Jays, In Philadelphia [Philadelphia International KZ 32120];
  • The Intruders, Super Hits [Gamble KZ 32131];
  • Spiritual Concept, Spiritual Concept [Philadelphia International KZ 32404];
  • The Three Degrees, The Three Degrees [Philadelphia International KZ 32406];
  • Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, Black and Blue [Philadelphia International KZ 32407];
  • The O’Jays, Ship Ahoy [Philadelphia International KZ 32408]; and
  • Billy Paul, War of the Gods [Philadelphia International KZ 32409].

The set additionally features a 12-inch vinyl single of Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes’ “The Love I Lost” b/w The O’Jays’ “It’s Too Strong” and an exclusive poster.
