R&B, Soul/Funk, Quiet Storm, Disco | XLD Rip | FLAC, Tracks+CUE+LOG+Scans (JPEG) | 01:10:01 | 534,32 Mb
Label: Expansion Records (UK) | Cat.# EXP2CD 07 | Released: 2010-07-20 (1980/1981)

This Expansion release from 2010 combines "Take It to the Limit" (1980) and "Mr. C" (1981) on one compact disc. These were two of Norman Connors' star-studded Arista-era albums, built on dancefloor R&B and quiet storm, highlighted by "Take It to the Limit" (featuring Adaritha), "Melancholy Fire" (Glenn Jones), a cover of Lou Courtney's "I Don't Need Nobody Else" (Al Johnson), "She's Gone," and "Keep Doin' It." This is a straightforward reissue of the two albums. There are no bonus tracks.
