It’s a mystery why Buddah would released this album and not promote it; they didn’t issue but one single from the LP. Seven of the eight songs are Reginald Turner, Victor Drayton, John Bellmon, and Jerry Akines compositions, the talented Philadelphia singers and songwriters who penned “Don’t Let the Green Grass Fool You,” a hit for Wilson Pickett and the Spinners. They also recorded themselves under various names including the Formations, the Corner Boys, and Frightened Majority. Barbara Mason penned the other song, a funky jam entitled “Ninety Days (In the House of Love Correction).” There are some good songs including “Super Love,” “(Love Lives on A) Windy Hill,” and “Don’t Close the Book.” “Castles,” in June of 1975, was the only single issued. A good catch if you can find a copy. ~ Andrew Hamilton
