Review:
One of the strong Philly LPs by Archie Bell and the Drells (and they really did make the transition to Philly pretty well). Side one has some of their more blatent attempts to appeal to the then hot disco crowd, but side two has them back in a great easy soul two-step sound, like “It’s Hard Not To Like You”, “There’s No Other Like You” and “Real Good Feeling”.
