20th Century Records Singles: 1973-1979 (2CD)

2 CD set. 'The Love Unlimited Orchestra can be seen as the bold gesture of Barry Whites grand vision of love. The Orchestras singles between 1973 and 1979 are a joyous complement to Whites work as a solo artist, and as the producer behind Love Unlimited. Utilizing the same studio and pool of musicians as he would for all his recordings in this era, White created an unmistakable and multi-platinum selling sound, and on February 9, 1974, Loves Theme became the 357th No. 1 record in the US. Featuring all 14 of Love Unlimited Orchestras US 7 singles released between 1973-1979, as well as the 12 Single Disco versions of a further 7 tracks, this set is the first compilation to pull together all the groups A- and B-sides. Perfectly positioned for all Barry White collectors and soul / R&B aficionados, it includes the hits: Loves Theme, Rhapsody In White, Satin Soul, My Suite Summer Suite, and Theme From Shaft. With newly remastered audio from the 20th Century Records master tapes, and with the 3LP cut at Abbey Road Studios for the highest possible sound quality, this fantastic new compilation includes new liner essays by music writer and broadcaster Daryl Easlea, and detailed track notes.
