  • Description

    The disco era's most famous "family", Sister Sledge went from promising success in Europe to phenomenal mainstream success in 1979 with the platinum-selling Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards-helmed (Chic) album WE ARE FAMILY. 'He's the Greatest Dancer', 'Lost in Music' and 'We Are Family' remain classic anthems in disco's final years before sustaining respectable hits through to the mid-80s.

    Before reaching their commercial peak, the band released their debut CIRCLE OF LOVE (1975) on Atco. Despite the sisters still being in their teens (the youngest being lead singer, Kathy, at 15), there is a remarkable maturity to their approach to the album. Mostly in line with Philly Soul, the group are already confident here, with most of the songs co-written by Gwen Guthrie.

    BBR's 40th Anniversary edition includes a whopping ten bonus tracks featuring the group's remaining single releases on Atco and Cotillion between 1973 and 1976, most of which have never been on CD. Highlights include the UK charter 'Mama Never Told Me' (UK #20) and the Bobby Eli produced hits 'Thank You For Today' (R&B #78) and 'Cream Of The Crop' (R&B #100).

    BBR are thrilled to present the 40th Anniversary Edition of CIRCLE OF LOVE in a deluxe super jewel case, expanded and remastered, featuring a new interview with Kathy Sledge and ten bonus tracks.
