Product Description:

ONE OF A KIND LOVE AFFAIR: THE ANTHOLOGY runs the gamut of the Spinners' output, focusing briefly on their early years at Motown (they had a hit with "It's A Shame," which was produced by Stevie Wonder), before moving on to their teaming with famed Philly Soul producer Thom Bell, who matched the Spinners' superb vocal talents with top-tier production and smooth, richly imagined arrangements (see: "I'll Be Around").

Thankfully, the bulk of this excellent two-CD set focuses on their spectacular 1970s work (when the group also benefited from the soaring, soulful tenor of Philippe Wynne), before giving cursory attention to their early-'80s tunes. This is arguably the best Spinners comp on the market, and is perfect for anyone looking to get acquainted with either the Philly Soul sound or one of its greatest practitioners.

Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 1/31/92, p.60

"...detailed annotation, and historical liner notes, this excellent two-disc compilation of hits, album cuts, and rarities treats the Spinners' oeuvre with all the care and respect it deserves...a lasting, soul-satisfying pleasure..." - Rating: A
