15 track collection of both issued and unreleased work from this great Detroit group – one of several to use the name The Holidays. The indemand ‘Maybe So Maybe No’ is a cavernous slab of mid tempo dark edged harmony, the whirly organ backed mid tempo ‘The Love We Share’ is a bright, funky soul effort while ‘I’m So Glad’ is a skipping dancer that the group released on their own marathon imprint. The quality flows through the beat ballad ‘Too many Times’, ‘Love Lost’ is a bittersweet, summery groover that never saw the light of day at the time while the thumping 1976 effort ‘You Make Me Weak’ was no doubt aimed at the bourgeoning disco market but was also unreleased at the time – sounds perfect for now. Sweet, effortless soul oozes from the gorgeous ‘This Is Love’ that was issued on the tiny Rob-Ron imprint while the full length ‘Getting’ Kinda Serious’ appears for the first time. Superb survey of the work of this talented group – essential!
