By Bruce Eder All Music Guide

Curtis Mayfield’s visionary album, a landmark creation every bit as
compelling and as far-reaching in its musical and extra-musical goals as
Marvin Gaye’s contemporary What’s Goin’ On. Opening on the hit “Get
Down,” the album soars on some of the sweetest and most eloquent
— yet driving — soul sounds heard up to that time. Mayfield’s growing
musical ambitions, first manifested on the Curtis album, and his more
sophisticated political sensibilities, presented with a lot of raw power on
Curtis Live!, are pulled together here in a new, richer studio language,
embodied in extended song structures (“Underground”), idealistic yet
lyrically dazzling anthems (“We Got to Have Peace,” “Keep On
Keeping On,” and, best of all, the soaring “Beautiful Brother of Mine”),
and impassioned blues (“Now You’re Gone”). The music is even bolder
than the material on the Curtis album, with Mayfield expanding his
instrumental range to the level of a veritable soul orchestra; and the
recording is better realized, as Mayfield, with that album and a tour
behind him, shows a degree of confidence that only a handful of soul
artists of this era could have mustered. Charly Records had this album
out on CD in the 1980s, but Rhino’s acquisition of the Curtom catalog
in 1996 led to a remastered and expanded reissue in 1999 with
superior sound, detailed annotation, and the addition of four bonus
tracks. Apart from a slow, funky, stripped-down but eminently
listenable demo of “Underground” (which reveals just how
sophisticated Mayfield’s conceptions — forget the finished versions — of
his songs were), the latter consist of the single edits of “Get Down,”
“We Got to Have Peace,” and “Beautiful Brother of Mine.” They seem
redundant after the album versions, though they don’t detract at all
from the extraordinary value of this mid-priced CD.

by Andrew Hamilton

Law & Order is the best of Love Committee’s two albums. The quartet
featured Ron Tyson, who sang with the Ethics and the Temptations.
Love Committee first made noise with a 12″ dance track “Can’t Win for
Losing” on Ariola-America. Ron Baker, Norman Harris and Earl Young
handled the productions. “Cheaters Never Win” has them switching
leads like the Temptations, the lyrics are street, and the rhythm
swings. The title track “Law and Order” is a slab of social commentary
that’s reminiscent of Blue Magic’s “Welcome to the Club.” Another
winner, “Just as Long,” is a dance track about two-timing your lover
and regretting doing so, but doing it anyway. “Put It in the Back of
Your Mind,” and “Pass the Buck” also merit repeated plays. Tyson
co-wrote all nine selections. In 1995, Salsoul Records re-released this
on CD.

In 2013 Salsoul Records authorized BBR to released a remastered version
with 8 original tracks and 4 bonus tracks. Salsoul also gave another
distributor, Octave Lab, the rights to produce a 13 track release.
The additional track is an Acappela version of “Cheaters Never
Win.” (Dap – AJProductions)

From Dusty Groove

A real turning point for the great Loleatta Holloway – and a record that
really finds a great way to unleash her vocals for the dancefloor!
Loleatta got her start as more of a traditional deep soul diva – but
here, she really takes off with a sweet Philly groove – thanks to
production from Norman Harris, who creates these incredible rhythms
that really push Holloway forward strongly! Gone are the sad tears of
earlier weepies, and in their place is a strong sense of joy and power –
Loleatta’s very positive, very progressive, and very dedicated to
standing her own ground! Includes the big single “Hit & Run”, plus
“Dreamin”, “We’re Getting Stronger”, “Ripped Off”, and versions of
“That’s How Heartaches Are Made” and Curtis Mayfield’s “What Now”.
CD features lots of great bonus tracks – including “Runaway”,
“Dreamin (12″ disco)”, “Hit & Run (12″ disco)”, “We’re Getting
Stronger (12″ disco)”, “Worn Out Broken Heart (single)”, and
“Dreamin (single)”.
