Mostly remembered for their prescient 1957 hit "Love Is Strange," there was far more to Mickey Baker and Sylvia Robinson than met the eye. For starters, Baker was a brilliant guitar player (Robinson was a fair guitarist, as well), and the duo's calypso-tinged R&B style left plenty of room for his startling lead lines. With a casually light, but still sassy and sexy vocal style, Mickey & Sylvia managed to sound both innocent and not so innocent, and somehow all at once, on songs like "Mommy out de Light" and the mock indictment "Love Will Make You Fail in School." All of these songs are included in this brief ten-track set, which will get you started, but once you see what Mickey & Sylvia bring to the table, you'll probably want more. ~ Steve Leggett
Although the packaging and sound are a little below par, Golden Classics Edition contains 18 tracks from Mickey & Sylvia's prime period -- not just "Love Is Strange," but a wealth of strong, lesser-known singles -- making it a good overview of the underrated R&B duo. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

$16.29 Obi & Real Elements return with their eight track sophomore release MAGIC LAND OF RIO featuring production by Brian Paulson.
Though some critics have suggested that Obi might be the next coming of the Go-Betweens, the band's debut album suggests they're more in line to become the next Czars. That's more than an acceptable fate for any band, though as of Obi's debut, the Czars have yet to take off and earn the acclaim they're due. While it's difficult to guess where The Magic Land of Radio will take Obi, it's quite easy to see where the band takes its listeners. Songwriter Damian Katkhuda favors the same kind of somber, country-tinged folk-pop that John Grant virtually patented on Before...But ...
