| Description: | THE 7000 DOLLAR ACETATE
The year is 1971, a time when nightclubs still had live bands performthe musical hits of the
day. Every city had its local stars and for the club scene of the city ofColumbus, Ohio it was
the CROWD PLEASERS. Founded in 1968 by June Carey along with heryounger brothers,
twins El & Al, the seven-piece band grew into an in-demand act thatperformed all over the
city. In April 1971 they went into the studio to record eight songs, but anactual release
never materialized. In time the master tape was destroyed and all thatwas left were two
acetates. But as time passed, these too were lost. Over the years, agrowing market for
obscure funk and soul albums emerged. When one of the acetates wentup for sale on eBay
in 2011, it sold for $3,900! Eleven years later, in 2022, the lastremaining copy also appeared
on eBay. Collectors drove the price up until it fi nally sold for astaggering $7,000! So now,
after more than 53 years, Al Carey & Regrooved Records proudlypresents the previously
unreleased 1971 album of the CROWD PLEASERS featuring renditions ofhits by Marvin Gaye,
Sly Stone's Little Sister, Neil Young, Gladys Knight & The Pips, ColdBlood, Dionne Warwick,
The Lettermen and the original funk break track ??Eggs & Bacon?. - Deluxe Handmade Tip-On Sleeve | OBI Strip | Analogue Remastered |
