Originally issued in 1982 this rare album form Richmond’s Standing Room Only was their sole full length. Boogie funk ala Cameo/Slave and Don Blackman are obvious influences particularly in cuts such as ‘Star From The Sky’, ‘Take A Chance’ and ‘Universal Funk Affair’, while the pacey modern soul dancers ‘Searchin’ and ‘Desire’ are ripe for plays on dancefloors that go for that crossover of soulful, positive lyrics and full on dance grooves. So many strong cuts on this album including the expansive mid tempo soulful ‘Heart And Soul’ and the soaring harmonies of ‘Take Some Time’. Really good album: essential! Note that their big modern tune ‘Sacrifice’ didn’t feature on the album. Don’t let that put you off – this is quality set!
