Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the group's first release on their own independent imprint, the record signals a gritty departure from their previous Motown constraints. Backed by a young ensemble of musicians, they established a tougher, guitar-driven R&B sound that would pave the way for their funk-heavy 1970s output.
