Hip-O Select Brings DeBarge LPs Back in a Special Way

August 22, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Before "Who's Johnny," before the heartbreaking string of legal troubles and before last year's subtle comeback album Second Chance, El DeBarge was the silver-tongued frontman of one of Motown's last great pop acts: DeBarge. The family unit - Eldra, Mark, Bunny, Randy and James - struck gold on the charts with self-penned jams like "Time Will Reveal" and "I Like It," plus gems from crack pop tunesmiths like David Foster ("Who's Holding Donna Now?") and Diane Warren (the smash "Rhythm of the Night").

Now, for the first time on one set, Hip-o Select has collected all four DeBarge LPs - plus a disc of danceable mixes and vault cuts - in a three-disc package. Time Will Reveal: The Complete Motown Albums features all of the group's records - The Debarges, All This Love, In a Special Way and Rhythm of the Night - along with five vintage 12" remixes and five more unreleased alternate and instrumental takes. There's even some treasures within the album programs themselves: signature jam "Time Will Reveal" is presented in full for the first time anywhere, extended to its full stop rather than faded.

El may still be wrestling with his demons - he checked into rehab earlier this year - but this set is sure to remind fans just what a talented performer he really is. Order Time Will Reveal here and get the lowdown on the track list after the jump.

    Sounds like a great package, and it seems like Hip-O-Select are moving more towards the late '70s and into the '80s with their recent packages of Smokey Robinson, Stephanie Mills and now Debarge.
