Description
RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2015
The Undisputed Truth was the only band that left Motown with Norman when he set up his label Whitfield Records with Warner Brothers.
‘Method To The Madness’ and ‘Smokin’ were the last two albums released by the band in 1976 and 1979 respectively.
‘Method To The Madness’ featured the Disco Anthems 'You + Me = Love' (rumoured to be the first 12" single ever released and featuring the vocals of Taka Boom, sister of Soul legend Chaka Khan, this track went to #2 on the US Dance chart and the full 11-minute version is available on this release) and 'Let's Go Down To The Disco' (again the full length version is on this unique release).
‘Method To The Madness’ was probably the band’s most successful album, and a tough act to follow, but ‘Smokin’ is a great album and featured classic cuts such as ‘Show Time’, ‘Atomic Funk’ and ‘Space Machine’.
