| | First Choice Armed And Extremely Dangerous CD - Import First Choice Discography of CDs
Other than the title cut, a remake, and a Motown wannabe, there's nothing of substance here. The wannabe "This Is the House Where Love Died," their debut single was popular in their hometown of Philly; they sound just like Martha and the Vandellas on the midtempo Motown-ish track. Their second single, "Armed and Extremely Dangerous," was explosive -- its tough storyline and pulverizing hook should have placed it higher on the charts, but it stalled at number 11 R&B and number 28 pop. A remake of "Love and Happiness" works, but "Smarty Pants" and "Newsey Neighbors" are bubblegum-ish attempts at commercialism that failed to crack the R&B ...

It took quite a while for a definitive Barry White compilation to hit the market, but All-Time Greatest Hits -- part of Mercury's Funk Essentials series -- finally filled the bill in 1995. Boasting a full 20 tracks from White's heyday of 1973-1978, more than half of which made the R&B Top Ten, All-Time Greatest Hits is easily the most generous single-disc ...

In 2007 -- perhaps in observance of the quintet's 40th anniversary -- those rulers of reissues at the Collectors' Choice Music label licensed and restored the entire 5th Dimension classic ten-title back catalog onto six CDs. This two-fer contains their debut, Up, Up and Away (1967), and follow-up, The Magic Garden (1968). Added as bonus tracks are a trio of rare, single-only sides -- including the A- and B-sides of "I'll Be Loving You Forever," b/w "Train Keep on Movin'" by the pre-5D Versatiles. Plus, "Too Poor to Die," which was the flip of their debut single -- a cover of "Go Where You Wanna Go" -- that made it all the way into the Top 20 pop chart. Behind the scenes, Johnny Rivers -- founder of the 5D's Soul City Records label and a hitmaker in his own right -- was assembling a team of top-shelf, all-star musicians, producers, and arrangers to support Lamonte McLemore, Ron Townson, Billy Davis, Jr., Marilyn McCoo, and Florence LaRue's equally masterful vocals. The end result would sound like a more soulful and funkier version of the Mamas & Papas. The instrumentalists were handpicked from the infamous Wrecking Crew led by Hal Blaine (drums). Jimmy Webb's widespread influence is evident, ranging from contributing nearly half of the material to his full-bodied orchestral arrangements. They are especially notable on the 5D's timeless take on Webb's own "Up, Up and Away," as well as Tim Hardin's "Misty Roses" and the Willie Hutch ballad "Learn to Fly." Although from the standpoint of sales and airplay, the conceptual Magic Garden (1968) may not have achieved the same notice as its predecessor, it was an artistic leap with a considerable degree of merit. Webb conceived of the project on a somewhat grander scale along the line of other "concept" pop platters of the era. The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" stands out of place among the remainder of the Webb-penned songs, such as "Carpet Man," "The Worst That Could Happen," "Paper Cup," and the criminally underrated ode to isolation on "Orange Air."
Those looking to replace their well-worn vinyl copies of either album should be pleased with the audio quality -- which matches that of the short-lived editions that were issued on Buddha Records in 2000. In fact, the major disparity between the two is that Mike Ragogna's liner notes have been replaced with new essays from Gene Sculatti. ~ Lindsay Planer
