BLAM!!

Can you dig it?

Great LP!!!..still have it on vinyl. But I'm gonna have to go with "Right On Time".

I remember in the "BLAM" LP liner notes that the son of Louis would have his own joint out in 20 years (lol)..did it ever happen?

This one





The very first album I ever own...

My fav is ....Winners, a great hard to find album.

I would have to go blam myself. In fact i have just about
downloaded every blam cut to my mp3 player.
1. blam
2. look out for number 1
3. light up the night
4. right on time

Enjoy!

Well, it's probably a bit hard to find on CD but not that hard to find on Lp

funkpill said:

Yeah,I would have to say this is their best album

evatorres said:

Notably,this was the first album that they produced themselves without Quincy Jones.I think it's brilliant.I have it on vinyl.Favorite songs are "The Real Thing",the disco-y "Dancin Free" and "I Want You".a really good album from start to finish.I heard that there is an import Japanese copy that features a bonus track.Probably really expensive though.

I have the Japanese Import CD....No extra track, though.....

Anyone have or heard the kick it to the curb album? I think it came out
in 1986 or 1987.

Kick It To The Curb was the lead single of the album Kickin'.
The album was released in 1988.

Only two good songs on "kickin." "Still In Love," and "Real Love." Both produced by Bryan Loren. Both tracks has his signiture sound.

I like his production and writing. What ever happened to him? Remember Lollipop Love?

I heard he was very difficult to work with.

phunkdaddy said:

It's alright, but lacks that sound you want from them IMO. It's not groovy, it's too processed.

1.Look Out For #1
2.Blam
3.Right On Time

tricky2 said:

That album also features a cool track called "I Fresh"

paligap said:

Seriously? I had heard there was an import of this CD,containing the bonus track "Let's Swing",which originally appeared on the B-side of "Stomp".

Winners ...is my favorite album ...

evatorres said:

I'm glad to see that so many of you like this album.It's often considered a disappointment by critics.I've heard some people say this was their "first flop".To me,this album is comparable to the previous album 'Light Up The Night'.

I recall in the summer of '81,"The Real Thing" was THE JAM!

No One has mentioned "Sunlight." I love this track from Winners.

You can find "In The Way" on recently re-issued greatest hits from Hip-O/Universal.

tricky2 said:

Wow, "Sunlight" and "In The Way" are my favorites from this album!!!!!

Btw, One of my friends refers to 'Winners' as their "Toto" album, because of all the input from Toto's bandmembers....

I don't feel like diggin' in the crate at the moment, but I'm going with "Blam", because if I remember correctly they had a track titled "HeatWave" (Correct me if I'm wrong), but that was one of the NASTIEST tracks the Brothers have EVER done.

Bali said:

You are probably referring to Streetwave

Yep, it was/is "Streetwave".....tks!
