MONDO INFERNO: Devilish Dancefloor Grooves From Around The World @320
http://www67.zippyshare.com/v/52584378/file.html
Lots of Hammond organ here, but also plenty of vocals too – served up over the kind of jerk and twist rhythms that can make a keyboard sound so great! Most numbers here appear to be of mid 60s vintage – and the set definitely lives up to the global sources promised in the title – as lyrics are in French and Spanish on some cuts, and in swinging English on others. Titles include "Yoyo Man" by Pietro Duchi, "El Curaca" by Frank Weir, "Makini" by Sal Davies, "Hurrikan" by Chris Bruhn, "Ooh Pee Day" by LP Orchestra, "Il N'Y Aurait Pas Tout Ca" by Madiata Et Son Ensemble, and "Allons-Y" by Duke Flloyd. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

THE CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD - Bittersweet (1972) @320 (CD 3 OF 9)
The Complete Invictus Studio Recordings 1969-1978 Remastered (CD 3 OF 9)
http://www58.zippyshare.com/v/74868637/file.html
In the very late sixties The Chairmen Of The Board were the flagship act of Holland-Dozier-Holland’s then newly established Invictus label.
Best known for their 1970 top three US hit Give Me Just A Little More Time (covered in the early nineties by Kylie Minogue) the band released four studio albums for Invictus in the first half of the 1970s.
This new box, The Complete Invictus Studio Recordings 1969-1978, goes beyond the group efforts and includes the Invictus solo albums released by individual members General Johnson, Danny Woods and Harrison Kennedy. To top it all off, this comes with two bonus discs include alternate versions, non-album singles and selected mixes, including two Tom Moulton remixes.
All in all, you get nine CDs and 97 tracks. The discs are accompanied by 36-page booklet with extensive liner notes.
Men Are Getting Scarce 5.19
So Glad You’re Mine 4.13
Working On A Building Of Love 2.54
I’m A Sign Of Changing Times 5.43
Elmo James 4.19
I’m On My Way To A Better Place 4.04
Bittersweet 5.05
Saginaw County Line 4.09
Weary Traveler 5.16
After the departure of Eddie Custis, the Chairmen of the Board found themselves pared down to a trio for their 1972 release Bittersweet. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it allowed the group to eliminate the middle-of-the-road ballad covers that Custis favored and resulted in their most consistent overall album to date. The impressive "Men Are Getting Scarce" provides the album with an energetic opener and its combination of wah-wah guitar and pulsing keyboards isn't too far from the funky, message-oriented soul sound that the Temptations were scoring with at the time. Other notable tunes on this album include the title track, a breakup ballad with an unusual but effective slow-fast-slow structure, and "Working on a Building of Love," an infectious up-tempo tune that blends a piano-pounding, gospel-tinged melody with a clever lyric worthy of Smokey Robinson. However, the album's finest moment is "I'm on My Way to a Better Place," a spiritual ballad built on a soaring, string-laden melody that features an intensely moving vocal performance from General Johnson. The other tunes don't command the attention as strongly as the songs mentioned here, but each is well-crafted and adds to the album's smooth, consistent feel. The result lacks the consistent, high level of inspiration to be judged a masterpiece but it will definitely please anyone who enjoys the Chairmen of the Board's hits. (Allmusic)

I'm still thanking you for the vocal groups, Gyro. CD5 includes the greatest opening line in any Rock'n'Roll song ever.
The Coasters "That Is Rock & Roll" opens with the bass guy saying, "In the beginning there was nothing but rock. Then somebody invented the wheel. And things just began to roll."
I've mimicked that guy since I was 12 years old.
BONUS
Billy Stewart - One More Time: The Chess Years
This 20 track CD covers Stewart's entire career on Chess. The first song, "Billy's Blues, Part 2" was recorded in 1956 when Stewart was Bo Diddley's piano player. Put on Billy Stewart's One More Time: The Chess Years. When you hear Bo Diddley's opening guitar on "Billy Blues," you know you're listening to something special. Billy Stewart ices the cake with a hiccupping, apologetic vocal. That lovely guitar melody was plagiarized and reappeared as "Love Is Strange," a big hit for Mickey & Sylvia. It doesn't get much better than "Strange Feeling," a warm floating song about the joys of new love. "I Do Love You" is a creamily concocted ballad -- he sings as if in a trance, playing off excellent backing blends by uncredited male vocalists. Stewart dazzles again on "Sitting in the Park"; the slow ballad speaks of utter rejection, sitting in a park waiting on your girl, and she never shows. The backing is majestic, and pushes Stewart to undreamed of heights, such as "Love Me," where he sounds uncompromisingly happy. If you like cool, mid-tempo ditties then you'll go for "How Nice It Is," an R&B charter. The lovely "I Cross My Heart" is a tearjerker; it sounds like the Dells on backing vocals with Stewart crooning like he was born to hurt, his soulful howl on the fade will make you tingle. Better known to some are his revitalization of pop/MOR standards "Summertime" and "Secret Lover." You get the full, unedited dose of the former. He does it his way, performing complete makeovers on both. "Golly Golly Gee" and "I'm in Love (Oh, Yes I Am)" deserve honorable mention for being borderline great. The latter is similar in feel and melody to "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" by the Supremes & the Temptations. Stewart was one of a kind (Otis Redding's singing style and stage performance was probably influenced by the late, great Billy Stewart). ~ Andrew Hamilton

Thank you for 5&6.
Great Coasters "That Is Rock & Roll" story, Johnny. Thanks as always to everyone who leaves comments. Thank you Jillem for your posts as usual.
many tanx! The Legendary Vocal Groups series is great. I've listened to disks 1-3 so far. Just terrific.
Thanks
I had the great fortune of being in the Viscount Studios when J.B. Hutto recorded the studio tracks for this LP. I'd worked a lot of sessions but this one impressed me. J.B. was not consumed by his own talent.
Gyro, Thank you for all of the J.B.Hutto.
Many Thanks
Many thanks for Billy Stewart! His version of Summertime is my favourite one. Tragically he had just a short life. All the best to the friends of good music, Alfred.
