Gamble and Huff loaned themselves to the Stylistics on these two projects and the cd's are nothing less that great. During the 70's and 80's, Gamble and Huff were the best and the Stylistics were nothing short of awesome!

I'm a huge Stylistics fan and could not believe my eyes when i saw that these 3 rare albums were available at one time on cd....There are a lot of good lesser known tracks as well as the one's you know and love....I'd have to put the Stylistics in my top 5 groups of all times....I'm sure you'll enjoy this 3 lp set on 2 cd's....Heres to good music

4.0 out of 5 stars Overlooked philly-gems, July 24, 2006

This review is from: Hurry Up This Way Again/Closer Than Close/1982 (Audio CD)

As it says in the booklet of this three(!)-disc compilation these three late 70 / early 80 records from The Stylistics are some of the most overlooked releases in all of the philly-soul catalogue.

The sound found here is your typical late 70:ies slick and groovy soul (at times flirting with disco). What makes this record so interesting is that the material is not at all as cliché as other albums from this period can be, the songwriting comes of as fresh and creative and contain a lot of tracks that really have a unique feeling to them.

If you're a fan of phillysoul or just late 70:ies soul than this compilation should not make you dissapointed. Personal favourites include "Call on you" and "It started out".
