1980 Scandinavian pressing in near-mint condition.
A smooth later groover from Crown Heights Affair a lot more 80s sounding than the group's classic work, but in a way that's actually totally great! CHA were never shy of hitting a mainstream sound, and early in the group's career, they traded harder funk for smoother disco, making a move that suited them well in later years. This set's got a brilliant sheen that really works wonderful for the group: tight production from Bert DeCoteaux in a style that's almost an update of earlier Philly modes, mature and sophisticated on the vocals and use of strings, but also with a funkier undercurrent at the bottom to keep with a New York De-Lite kind of sound. Titles include "You Gave Me Love", "Sure Shot", "I Don't Want To Change You", "You've Been Gone", "Use Your Body & Soul", and "Tell Me You Love Me".
