"…We Like To
Party…"
Soul and Funk
band SWITCH managed five albums between 1978 and 1981 on Gordy (USA) and Tamla
Motown (UK) – and this is their debut.
Typically accomplished and polished Soul
ala Kool & The Gang or The Commodores with songwriting involvement from
Bobby DeBarge and Jermaine Jackson– it's a mixture of mid-paced steppers and
classy smooth ballads recorded by seriously talented players. Here are the
multi-instrumentalist details…
Released 25
August 2014 in the UK (7 October in the USA) – "Switch" by SWITCH on Big Break Records CDBBRX 0164
(Barcode 5013929046436) is an 'Expanded Edition' CD Reissue and Remaster with Two Bonus Tracks that breaks downs as follows (40:04 minutes):
1. I Wanna Be
With You [Side 1]
2. There'll
Never Be
3. I Wanna Be
Closer
4. We Like The
Party…Come On!
5. Fever [Side 2]
6. You Pulled A
Switch
7. It's So Real
8. Somebody's
Watching You
Tracks 1 to 8
are their debut album "Switch" – released August 1978 in the USA on Gordy G7-980R1 and
October 1978 in the UK on Tamla Motown STML 12096
BONUS TRACKS:
9. There'll
Never Be (Single Version)
10. I Wanna Be
Closer (Single Version)
Using the two
bonuses and Tracks 6 and 8
This release will allow fans to sequence their two
US 7" 45-Singles as follows:
There'll Never
Be b/w You Pulled A Switch, June 1978 on Gordy G-7159F
I Wanna Be
Closer b/w Somebody's Watching You, December 1978 on Gordy G-7163F
The 16-page
booklet has live photos of the band, rare picture sleeves, label facsimiles and
liner notes by SHELLEY NICOLE (as well as album credits). But the big news as
always is a KEVIN REEVES and NICK ROBBINS remaster from Universal tapes and it sounds
just amazing – clear, punchy and full of life. Highlights
include "I Wanna Be Closer" – a great smoocher and the floor-filling
slap-bass funk of "We Like To Party…Come On!" where Switch sound like an
energized Gap Band.
Another superb
reissue from BBR of the UK (Funk and Soul fans will love it) and kicking where it matters – sound and presentation…
