2008 digitally remastered two-fer containing the third and fourth albums from the pioneering Philadelphia sweet Soul trio on one CD. With the collaborative genius of Thom Bell, the Delfonics laid down the ground rules for all of the sweet Soul harmony acts that followed in their wake - most notably the Moments, the Chi-Lites and the Stylistics (who also worked extensively with Bell). In doing so they created some of the finest records of their generation, several of which can be heard here. .20 tracks. Kent.
First ever British CD issue for these two pioneering Philly Soul albums, by one of the most unique and beloved groups ever to emerge from the City Of Brotherly Love.
Between 1968 and 1974, the Delfonics racked 20 US Soul Chart hits. 12 of those made the Top 20, and all but two of them also crossed over to Pop.
Among those hits were 'La La Means I Love You', 'Break Your Promise' and 'Ready Or Not Here I Come', which ushered in the era of the classic Sound Of Philadelphia and introduced the world to the genius of songwriter-arranger Thom Bell.
All of those tracks are featured here, alongside other Delfonics Top 20 hits 'I'm Sorry' and 'You Got Yours And I'll Get Mine' (a bonus track, not included on either of these two original albums).
Top-notch mastering from the original Philly Groove/Bell production tapes, means that these great recordings now sound better than they ever did.
A must for all lovers of classic group soul of any era.
One of the first groups to blow our minds with that sleek, soulful "Philadelphia Sound." Includes La-La Means I Love You; Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time); I'm Sorry; You Got Yours and I'll Get Mine; Trying to Make a Fool of Me; When You Get Right Down to It; Funny Feeling; Loving Him , and more!
