Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive
Melba Moore - Closer In 1980, Melba Moore recorded, co-produced with the following producers Bruce Hawes and Victor Carstarphen the album “Closer”, which featured the dancer 'Something On Your Mind'. A lot of her albums were re-issued on CD but not this one. PTG is very proud that we finally succeeded in the release of this outstanding album of Melba Moore. This album is also recorded in the Sigma Sound Studio and that means quality music. If you only look to the artists who did the backing. I name a few: The late Luther Vandross, Ullanda McCullough, Brenda White and Tawatha Agee. Great re-issue. Check the sound snippets on Vinyl-Masterpiece.com

Reddings - Class From Original Master Tapes

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive
The Reddings - Back To Basics A nice early 80s set from The Reddings – the group featuring two sons of Otis Redding and a sweet set of funk steeped R&B! Dexter Redding plays bass, and there's a whole lot of bass in the mix, bringing some funk into the groove very nicely – with some post disco pop soul melodic numbers, that work very well, too. The Reddings bring out a mix of tighter, leaner numbers with pop funk style with a couple of sweet, string accented slow jams on Class and it's solid stuff! Titles include "Class (Is What You Got)", "If You Feel It", "Main Nerve", "Hurts So Bad", "Love Dance", "Love Is Over" and more
