New Birth - I'm Back (1982)

                                                
                                                 {a very apropos choice, for my 1st upload in a while..lol}
             
                       not gonna get into the the longwinded history of this Group,...
                       but as Implied by the LP title,
                       This last effort by them is their so-called "Comeback" album,
                       even though it had been only a few years since releasing one..
                      ...although they were probably referring to the regrouping
                       of the original band lineup they had 10 years previous...
                   
                       This is a good LP, with cool 'synthfunk dujour' jams...
                   
                        However, by the time they released this LP in late 1982,
   the "Horn-Section blasting, 4-on-the-floor, Post-DiscoFunk"  approach/production,
              was sounding very 'Dated' by then...thus, that may have contributed to the
              'less than lukewarm' reaction to this release, and it didn't do much...
              but no doubt a cool last ditch effort by a great funky soul group of the 70's...

Power House - Don't Sleep On Us (1987)

             Very Rare 80's RnB/Dance/Hip Hop Pressing out of Jamaica, Queens NY.
                                       Turned out Local hits {of the time} such as;
                          "No More Sweet Love" "Irresistible" "U.R. My Lover"
                            surprisingly, a few cuts had success in South America..
                   
                                    not much info on the net about these guys,
                                       but luckily, i attained 'first-hand insight'....
                    Lead Vocalist, Clay Washington {"Irresistible; U.R. my Lover"} Recalls;
   

  " These guys, Rob and Reggie (twins) had this idea to do a compilation album to promote the artists that they signed.
     I just thought I'd have one song on it, {Irresistible} but they ended up with extra room, so we put "U R My Lover" on it.
      I was told it was a compilation,. but when they were finished with the album and photos, they made it look like we all were a group!
      And the funniest thing was, the Twins were on the album cover as if 'They' were the musicians! ..That was so strange to me..
      All in all, it was an Interesting Experience...My First View into the world of recording...I learned a lot..."

                                            
                               Note: Due to the Fact that all i can get my hands on                                                                                  was the Original Cassette,
                                      the sonic of the transfer bears the infamous;                                                                                    'Tape Hiss' that we all love...lol
