Description
Presented is a beautiful copy of the mega-rare Dyson's Faces on the Dy-Rich label from 1977, original stereo pressing. From dustygroove.com:
The second incredible album from Dyson's Faces -- one of those underground 70s groups that should have been huge! The set's got a soaring sound that's even more righteous than the group's debut -- a quality that glows wonderfully with the quartet's mix of male and female voices -- a sound that almost reminds us a bit of Voices Of East Harlem at times. Backing is by the Hard Times Band -- a tight combo who groove hard on the more uptempo numbers, and lay back nicely on the mellower ones -- just throwing in some licks here and there on guitar or keyboards next to the warmer harmony vocals. The voices are an especially great part of the record, and really sparkle with a sound that's even fresher than most other groups from the time -- a sound that shows that Dyson's Faces wasn't just one of those funk groups who happened to also be able to sing -- but a strongly committed soul outfit who really put a lot of energy into their music! Titles include "This Time It's Gotta Be Love" in both vocal and instrumental versions -- plus "Till I've Got This Feelin Of Love", "Try Me Baby", "You & Me", "Working My Way To Something Better", and "Cry Sugar" -- as well as "Welcome To All This Love Again" and "Don't Worry About The Jones", which both appeared on the group's first album.
I acquired this record from a radio station a few weeks back still sealed. I opened it and played it one time. Cover near-mint, still in shrink with original price-sticker. Perhaps slightest bit of corner wear but looks nearly-new. Record near-mint; I have noticed that the second cut on side two "You and Me" has a bit of surface noise throughout; this seems more likely a manufacturing defect or a problem with the recording since, as mentioned, the record was found sealed. Lineup includes Clifton Dyson (vocals), Gretta Kent (second tenor), Walter Johnson (baritone), Michael Chandler (first tenor), Michael McBride (lead guitar), M.B. Colbert (keyboards), Anthony Moxley (bass), Michael Stanford (drums), Julio Miranda (congas), Darius L. Moss (organ).
Don't miss your chance to pick up this exceedingly rare northern soul/funk masterpiece, rarely offered up for sale on E-bay. Bidding starts low. Good luck and thanks so much for looking!
