The Escorts - All We Need Is Another Chance - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The first ever comprehensive collection focusing on the popular soul band that had the one distinction of being the only soul band to record from behind prison bars

Of all the sweet and satin-voiced groups to grace the R&B charts in the early to mid '70s, The Escorts have one distinction (which some consider somewhat dubious) of being the one and only team to have started their recording career behind bars! Any discussion of the seven man group has inevitably focused on that fact but beyond the circumstances of their recording situation, The Escorts' work actually merits considerable acclaim and praise. Almost 20 years after the group made soul music history, they reformed, aided by their original renowned producer George Kerr, to make the album presented here. InchBack to Love,Inch recorded in 1992, finds the group making the same great soul music they've come to be known for. All selections newly remastered.

Of all the sweet and satin-voiced groups to grace the R&B charts in the early to mid-'70 s, The Escorts have one distinction (which some consider somewhat dubious) of being the one and only team to have started their recording career behind bars! Any discussion of the seven-man group has inevitably focused on that fact but beyond the circumstances of their recording situation (at Rahway prison in New Jersey), The Escorts' work actually merits considerable acclaim and praise. Listening to their 1973-74 recordings, it's evident that The Escorts - aided by renowned producer George Kerr - made some fine music. Featured here is the sublime InchI'll Be Sweeter TomorrowInch coupled with the soulful InchLook Over Your Shoulder.Inch Newly re-mastered.
