New Birth - I'm Back (1982)

                                                
                                                 {a very apropos choice, for my 1st upload in a while..lol}
             
                       not gonna get into 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...

                              In Remembrance of the {recently defunct} Radio Station
                              that filled the New York airwaves for over thirty years
                              with Funk, R&B & Slow-Jams,
                              I transfered one of my sister's very ooooold cassettes,
                              containing a vintage KISS.FM radio braodcast
                              from it's very early days....

                                 Note: due to the nature of the find,
                                          sound quality is 2nd rate {to say the least..}
                               {oxidation, hiss, abrupt stops, warts and all!}
