Description
• Three Whispers’ albums: ‘One For The Money’, ‘Open Up Your Love’ and ‘Headlights’ on a double CD.
Featuring sleeve notes by Christian John Wikane, a New York based music journalist who interviewed Walter Scott of The Whispers, who described these three albums as the exciting new phase of The Whispers’ career: “The early days of Solar Records were just incredible.”
‘One For The Money’ was originally released in 1976 on the Soul Train Label, and featured the R&B Top Ten Hit of the same name and the follow up single ‘Living Together (In Sin)’. This package also includes the 7” versions of the tracks ‘You’re Only As Good As You Think You Are’ and ‘Sounds Like A Love Song’ as bonus tracks on disc two.
Following up the ‘One For The Money’ album was the 1977 release ‘Open Up Your Love’, also released on the Soul Train label. It kicked off with a soulful cover of Bread’s ‘Make It With You’, which gave the group another R&B Top Ten Hit.
‘Headlights’ was originally released in 1978 on Solar Records, and again, the album included a R&B Top Ten Hit ‘(Let’s Go) All The Way’ and, just missing out on the Top Ten, ‘(Olivia) Lost And Turned Out’.
