Description
PRESSED ON GREEN COLORED VINYL
Before their chart-topping success with hits like “Fire” and “Love Rollercoaster,” the Ohio Players built their signature sound during a fertile creative period in the late 1960s. This deluxe two-LP collection presents, for the first time, the complete recordings produced by Johnny Brantley—essential early tracks that laid the foundation for their later fame.
Included are all original singles, the full Observations in Time album, rare compilation-only cuts, and previously unreleased tracks from the vault. Standouts include their R&B breakthrough “Trespassin’,” the Northern Soul favorite “Love Slipped Through My Fingers,” and a funk-heavy take on Allen Toussaint’s “Mother-In-Law.” This is the definitive look at the pre-fame Ohio Players—raw, funky, and full of soul.
