Recorded between 1968 & 1970. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl.
The Platinum & Gold Collection is a strong, concise package of the original Delfonics biggest hits. Original here refers to the package of Randy Cain with brothers William and Wilbert Hart along with producer Thom Bell. The songs here, like the dreamy "La-La (Means I Love You)," angelic "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)," and the equally parenthetical, dreamy and angelic "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide From Love)" helped point the way for '70s soul as part of the blue print for the Philly soul sound. The partnership would fracture with Cain leaving and demand for Bell's production leading him to other vocal groups, but one of the cornerstones of Philly soul rests on the early works of the Delfonics. There are more complete collections, but Platinum & Gold is a solid economic survey and a great introduction to this sweet soul group. ~ Wade Kergan

The Fuzz Band is unparalleled in the music industry. The nine-member group has an innovative sound that fuses several genres of music to create an intriguing resonance. Their sound is a fusion of hip hop, jazz, R&B, soul, alternative and classical music that transcends traditional borders of artistic expression. Comprised of classically trained instrumentalists, as well as accomplished jazz musicians and vocalists, The Fuzz Band has a style all its own. The band, which has performed together since 1997, calls this sound a blur; thus the name "Fuzz".Many of the bands' fans have described their vibrant and versatile range of music as a spontaneous overflow of emotion. This sound can be heard on their recently released "Without Boundaries" album, a 13-track compilation released on the Peach Fuzz Entertainment, LLC label. The Norfolk, Va. based band has opened for platinum-selling artists such as Outkast, Jill Scott, Morris Day and The Time and Alicia Keys. The Fuzz Band has also performed at fundraisers for dignitaries and entertainers, including Virginia's Gov. Mark Warner, stellar basketball player Allen Iverson and NFL star Bruce Smith.R&B artists such as Bilal, Faith, Blue Cantrell and Scott have all performed to music recreated by the group at "Fuzzy Wednesdays"-a weekly "open mic" event. Over 30,000 patrons have partaken in the "Fuzzy" experience since its creation in 1997. The venue provides a space for poets, performers and lyricists to express themselves in a culturally enriching atmosphere. The Fuzz Band is the core part of this event, providing the soundtrack to many of the artists.There is no one-way to describe The Fuzz Band or the music that they play except to say that the energy is endless and the sound is astounding. "The Fuzz Band is great, their sound is amazing," said ABC News. The band is committed to restoring the integrity of music, and has proven this by their performances and by sharing their gifts to youth through fun and entertaining musical clinics.

| | Blue Magic Magic Of The Blue CD (1974)
Platinum & Gold Collection songs
$9.95 
In a perfect world, all of Blue Magic's '70s LPs would have been reissued on CD in the late '80s or '90s. But that didn't happen; when the 21st century arrived, most of the Philadelphia vocal group's '70s albums were out of print. However, various best-of packages were available on CD. The most comprehensive is The Best of Blue Magic: Soulful Spell, a superb 20-song collection that Rhino assembled in 1996. Less generous is Magic of the Blue: Greatest Hits; originally released on vinyl by Omni in 1986 and subsequently reissued on CD, Magic of the Blue: Greatest Hits only contains 12 songs. Most of the essential gems that are on Greatest Hits are also on Soulful Spell, and that includes "Sideshow," "Three Ring Circus," and "Stop to Start," as well as "Look Me Up," "Spell," and "What's Come Over Me" (the original 1974 version, not the 1975 duet with Margie Joseph). Both collections are gem-laden and both paint a highly attractive picture of Blue Magic's '70s heyday; when the quintet was at their creative peak from 1974-1976 (the period that Greatest Hits focuses on), Blue Magic was Philly soul heaven. Anyone who treasures Philly vocal heavyweights like the Stylistics, the Moments, and the Delfonics owes it to himself/herself to hear Blue Magic as well. So if you're exploring Blue Magic's legacy for the first time, what is the best starting point? Although everything on Magic of the Blue: Greatest Hits is first-rate, ...
