Product Description
Contents Introduction Limited first edition paper jacket packaging Not just rare, but a truly rare record with impeccable quality! The only album released in 1976 by Kansas City soul vocal group Smoke is finally being reissued in a paper jacket! A masterpiece from Kansas City (recorded in Chicago), a place where soul music was not exactly booming in 1976! Although it is known that Larry (Lawrence) Brown, a member of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, was a member, the identity of the mysterious group Smoke is unknown, and this is the only album they released on a label called J. Bridge! In addition to its rarity, it has long been a treasured item among collectors due to its high quality. The killer ballad "I'm So Lonely," which is over 8 minutes long, is absolutely wonderful, but the medium-tempo tracks, which are typical of Chicago, are also superb. A must-have for sweet soul fans! Based on media reviews and more, this is not just rare, but a truly exceptional record of undeniable quality!
