Product Information
- Translucent Green 2LP vinyl - Deluxe gatefold sleeve featuring stunning original futuristic artwork fully restored - The definitive pre-superstardom collection - First ever curated collection bringing together the complete Johnny Brantley productions - Curated and annotated by black music historian and 'Acid Jazz' co-owner DEAN RUDLAND.The definitive pre-fame / Pre-"Pain"overview of one of the world's greatest funk bands.By the time the OHIO PLAYERS released their breakthrough single "Pain"in 1971 they had been together since the late Fifties, originally as the Ohio Untouchables and as the Ohio Players since 1967. Within a few years they would hit superstardom with US #1 pop hits "Fire"and "Love Rollercoaster". However, it was their earlier work with legendary producer Johnny Brantely, featured here, that created their unique "sound"and the foundation of their future success.This exclusive two-disc deluxe package gathers together - for the first time - all of the Johnny Brantley productions including every track originally released on single, the complete Observations In Time album, plus later compilation-only tracks and additional unreleased recordings from the vaults.Features the bands first R&B hit "Trespassin'"and the Northern Soul anthem "Love Slips Through My Fingers". Also features the bands wacky funked-up cover version of Allen Toussaint's classic "Mother In Law"which paved the way for the Top 20 hit "Funky Worm".As mentioned above The Ohio Players would go on to become one of the most successful soul and funk groups of the decade, they were a phenomenon. It was a success that was built on the work that was done in the late 1960s, when as a band with a new identity they forged a sound that was uniquely their own.
