Their 70's albums on PIR feature an excellent mix of soul, funk and disco .... quite overlooked though ....

Agreed.  "Soul City Walk" was and remains very popular in here in Philadelphia, and "Let's Groove" and the 'Dance Your Troubles Away' album were fairly big R&B hits in the USA (though now largely forgotten), but none of those had any pop crossover the way so many of the PIR groups (O'Jay's, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Billy Paul, The Three Degrees, MFSB, etc.) did during that era.  The Stylistics also did some excellent PIR albums that were largely ignored.  Their big hits were earlier on Avco.

The consistency of PIR - also based on the quality of the in-house studio musicians - was astonishing ....

Brandi Carlile: Bear Creek

Superb

Truly from the "golden reign" between 1966 - 1973 .... the demos and out-takes document Aretha Franklin big voiced, impassioned and on the top of the game .... btw the cast of studio musician is impressive too ....

Led Zeppelin - "House Of The Holy". I have the infamous RL cut too!

I laugh when people pay big bucks for these Robert Ludwig LPs as if they are rare. Yeah, if rare means a few hundred thousand copies.

I imagine that these days, It's not OK to post that cover image anymore.
