The Spinners' 2nd Time Around (1970) was actually their debut long-player for the short-lived V.I.P. subsidiary of Motown Records. The "Second Time" referred to in the title indicates the quintet's new direction, which was considerably funkier than the group's former R&B persona. The album likewise marked the final contributions of G.C. Cameron, who himself was the latest in a line of replacements that began when George W. Dixon made way for Edgar "Chico" Edwards in 1961. However, by the time the combo had become part of the Motown roster, Edwards' spot was filled by Cameron. The Stevie Wonder-penned "It's a Shame" became the Spinners' first Top 20 hit of the decade.

The Spinners topped their Motown success when they jumped to Atlantic (and Philly-soul producer Thom Bell) in the early ’70s. Here are every one of the quintet’s A- and B-sides helmed by Bell: the R&B Top 10s “I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love,” “One of a Kind (Love Affair),” "Ghetto Child,” “Mighty Love,” “I’m Coming Home,” “Love or Leave,” “The Rubberband Man,” “Games People Play,” “Sadie,” “You’re Throwing a Good Love Away,” “Then Came You” (their #1 duet with Dionne Warwick) and more. Every song here is in its original single version…43 tracks in all, more than half of which are unique edits (and some of the B-sides are rarely compiled). A deluxe booklet with rare photos and memorabilia caps off this 2-CD celebration of these paragons of sweet ’70s soul! Real Gone Music.

Soundtrack, Blaxploitation, Funk, Soul, Rhythm & Blues

The soundtrack to the Hughes Brothers' tribute to early-'70s blaxploitation gets the sound of the era right, featuring hits by the O'Jays, the Spinners, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, among others. The inclusion of Danny Elfman's instrumental theme interrupts the flow of the album, but for the most part, Dead Presidents is a first-rate collection of prime soul.
