A really cool lost group on late 60s ABC - a bit psych, with maybe a slight UK influence - able to turn out some nicely varied, but nicely focused songs throughout this debut set! The record's one of those great lost sides from the time - a group who've clearly got chops and plenty of ideas of their own - lucky enough to get some time in the studio with a label who gave them the space to try out new things - which they do to great effect here on both the lyrical and instrumental sides of the record! The set's got some larger arrangements by producer Bill Szymczyk - a name we don't know, but who also gives the record a superb sound overall - augmenting the ideas of the group in just the right way, while never burying their identity.

A great lost soul record on Prelude - with much more of a mellow feel than the label's usual disco groove! Silk are an excellent harmony trio, and they're produced with a sweet mellow vibe that gives the record a sophisticated soul sound. The whole thing was put together by Gene Barge in Chicago - and the trio includes vocalist Maurice Jackson, who is better known for his work with The Independents - and who also recorded some killer 45s back in the early 70s. Whatever the case, the record's a great one - and it's filled with nice cuts like "Gone Away", "Get Ready For That Day", "I'll Be Waiting", "I Never Had Love", and "Simply Beautiful".
