La La Means I Love You/ Sound Of Sexy Soul [Import]

• Track Listing

First ever UK CD issue for these two pioneering Philly Soul albums, by one of the most unique and beloved groups ever to emerge from the City of Brotherly Love. Between 1968 and 1974, The Delfonics racked 20 US Soul Chart hits. 12 of those made the Top 20, and all but two of them also crossed over to Pop. Among those hits were 'La La Means I Love You', 'Break Your Promise' and 'Ready Or Not Here I Come', which ushered in the era of the classic Sound of Philadelphia and introduced the world to the genius of songwriter-arranger Thom Bell. All of those tracks are featured here, alongside other Delfonics Top 20 hits 'I'm Sorry' and 'You Got Yours And I'll Get Mine' (a bonus track, not included on either of these two original albums). Top-notch mastering from the original Philly Groove/Bell production tapes, means that these great recordings now sound better than they ever did.
