What the world needs now is love

From ’69, this rare album is from their prime period and was apparently intended as a promo only release! A stunning early set from The Artistics – and exactly the kind of record that shows why they were one of the best Chicago soul groups at the end of the 60s! The harmonies are wonderful – smooth, but with a rough undercurrent too – balanced at a level that few groups could touch at the time, save maybe The Four Tops! Produced by Carl Davis and Eugene Record (Chi-Lites), who also penned the tracks ‘Price Of Love’ and ‘When I’m Not Around’. Great stuff!
