Free Music Review: two sides...
Hit: 5 Stars
Since there's two sides to every story, don't instantly believe everything you read or hear. Those who do want to support Frank directly can buy his own, inferior version of this. The Expansion issue of this excellent record IS the best one, musically and sonically. And whatever the real story may be, please be glad that these recordings, Franks very best he ever made, have been rescued from the Mojazz/Motown vaults. Without the efforts of Expansion they might have been unreleased forever...This is classic soul music, beautifully sung and near perfectly produced and arranged by the great Steve 'The Scotsman' Harvey. He's actually also the guy that partly paid for making the record...Free Music Review: This Generation's Donny Hathaway On a Level of his OWN!!

Vocally, this dude is sick. Musically, my man Frank takes you to that cool out zone. If I could give this CD 10 stars I would. Matter fact; There you go!! Now go buy it and report back to me your feelings. I'm sure you'll agree. If not, I'll pay for it.
Chas Bronxson. Look me up.

I imagine everyone will already be aware of, and probably have a copy if they're willing to admit it, of Frank's legendary "Motown sessions", whether it be the bootleg CDR or the recent Frank McComb CDR release.
I had heard these sets and liked them, but was very sad at the quality - these were, after all rough demos. All that raced through my mind was "what the hell is wrong with Motown?!" (no prizes for any answers - there are far too many and none of us have the time! :-)
Steve Harvey back in the summer of 2004 indicated that he was busy reworking these famed Motown sessions. Well, the man has done a great job and the sound quality is second to none.
There are all the tracks that we are already familiar with (minus "Shine" and "The Milk Of Human Kindness"), as well as some different songs recorded prior to the essential "Truth Vol. 1" album.
Every track is beautiful, and none comes more essential than "More Than Friends". When I first heard this song it brought a lump to the throat.Rarely does a record do that to me. This is seven and a half minutes of serious soul heaven. The warm keys, the hushed atmosphere and sympathetic accompaniment from Steve Harvey, Doc Powell, Paulinho Da Costa, the Nashville String Machine, Ron Huff and Sekou Bunch make this a killer track.The album is essential for this alone.
"Golden Lady" is a beautiful cover of Stevie Wonder's classic and has already gained a welcome release, but it is probably the four unreleased gems that you will be champing at the bit for! "Do You Remember" is a quirky, funky and very pleasing uptempo effort in the vein of Impromp2's "Give It Up". Steve Harvey's style is drenched through and through and his symbiosis with Frank is absolute magic. Freddie Washington is also a legend and does his thing like he only can.
"Labelled As Love" is a beautiful track featuring Bobby Watson on bass. Comparisons with Donny Hathaway are more than justified when you hear this sort of track. If for some crazy reason you doubt whether you will buy this set because you already have 2 versions of this set then prepare to reconsider. You cannot and should not overlook this album. The warmth that this particular song emanates is overwhelming. We really are hearing the masters at work here. The sincerity, tenderness and embracing nature of "Left Alone" is unquestionable. The instrumental, "Mr. Integrity", features a jazzier vibe and hats off to all concerned for it - especially saxophonist Louis Van Taylor who sure knows how to blow. Frank's keys remind me of Ramsey Lewis' 70s Columbia efforts and for me adds to the appeal and charm of the whole album.
