Crown Heights AffairCrown Heights Affair – The Definitive Collection (3CD set with bonus tracks) ... CD
Robinsongs/De-Lite (UK), Late 1970s/Early 1980s. New Copy 3CD ... $26.99 33.99
A huge collection of work from Crown Heights Affair – a group who were famously labelmates of Kool & The Gang in the late 70s, where they recorded an equally great run of funky grooves! As with K&TG, Crown Heights started out with a harder funky edge, then big-upped their size and started going more for the dancefloor – yet still working with all the sharp musicianship and deft rhythms that they learned at the start – making them way different than some of the prepackaged studio-based acts of the disco generation! You can definitely hear that evolution here – as the set begins with a number of cuts from the group's original album on RCA, which has never been reissued before – the moves into the best of their De-Lite years, including some rare singles next to album tracks too. The 3CD set features 42 tracks in all – and titles include "You Can't Bend My Super Rod", "Streaking", "Dancin (12" disco mix)", "Leave The Kids Alone", "Sex Trip", "Do It The French Way", "Music Is The World", "Dreaming A Dream", "Every Beat Of My Heart", "Galaxy Of Love", "Dance Lady Dance", "Super Rod", "Foxy Lady", "You Gave Me Love", "Let Me Ride On The Wave Of Your Love", "Love Rip Off", "Somebody Tell Me What To Do", "Rock The World", "Struck Gold", "The Rock Is Hot", "Come Fly With Me", "Dream World", and "Sure Shot".

Crown Heights AffairDream World (with bonus tracks) ... CD
De-Lite/Octave (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
A tasty little disco album that's a lot better than you might think! In some ways, this might be Crown Heights Affair's most perfectly realized album – as it's got lots of long tracks that mix the group's always-tight instrumental style with a spacey soul sensibility that's quite captivating. None of the cuts are standout slammers, but the album's pretty nice as a whole, and the songwriting gives the group plenty of good lyrics to work with. Titles include "Galaxy Of Love", "Dream World", "Things Are Going To Get Better", "I'm Gonna Love You Forever", and "Say A Prayer For Two". CD features a huge amount of bonus mixes too – including "Say A Prayer For Two (orig 12" version)", "Galaxy Of Love/I'm Gonna Love You Forever (original promo 12" medley)", "I Love You (unreleased 12" version)", and original 7" single versions of "Dream World", "I Love You", "Galaxy Of Love", and "Say A Prayer For Two".

Crown Heights AffairDreaming A Dream ... LP
De-Lite, 1975. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A dream of a record from Crown Heights Affair – the group's classic first set, and maybe as fine a batch of early club work you could ever hope to find! Like so many of the east coast acts at the start of the disco generation, these guys are a well-trained funk ensemble, playing at a faster clip for the new dancefloor sound – which means that at the core, they've still got some fantastic instrumentation – and a groove that rivals their bigger contemporaries, like Kool & The Gang, Fatback, or BT Express! The drums are fantastic, the basslines nice and subtle, the horns used with some real grace – and there's also some really cool moog solos on the best numbers – which really makes the album a treat. Titles include both disco and vocal versions of their hit "Dreaming A Dream" – plus the tracks "I Am Me", "You Smiled", "Foxy", "I Am Me", "Feeling Tall", "Every Beat Of My Heart", "Na Na Hey Hey", and "Picture Show".

✨✧ Crown Heights AffairDo It Your Way ... CD
De-Lite/Unidisc (Canada), 1976. Used ... Out Of Stock
A record that ended up in more than a few 70s record collections because of its sexy cover image – but a set that's even better when you get down into the grooves – thanks to massively funky work from Crown Heights Affair! The group are wonderful here – upbeat and quick-stepping, but still filled with razor-sharp funk energy – at a level that's similar to Brass Construction or BT Express – with no fluff at all, and none of the kind of too-extended sloppy musicianship you were getting from the studio disco groups. The whole thing's got a rock-solid vibe that was first forged in the funky 45 generation, then kicked up for the 12" years – including the group's harmony vocals, which still have a great indie vibe. Titles include "Sexy Ways", "Dancin", "Far Out", "Music Is The World", "Love Me", and "Searching For Love". Also includes the nice funky funky "French Way", which has some great moogy parts! CD features bonus mixes too! CD

✨✧ Crown Heights AffairCrown Heights Affair ... LP
RCA, 1974. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Their first LP, and one that we like way better than anything else they ever did. The record's got a great bunch of hard funky cuts done at a fast tempo – without the throwaway disco sound of some of their other albums, and lots of sax and keyboards in the lead. A bit like early Bohannon at times – and with tracks that include "Streaking", "Super Rod", "Sex Trip", and "You Can't Bend My Super Rod". LP, Vinyl record album
