Spinners
Keep on Keepin' On brings together expanded editions of all six of The Spinners' Atlantic albums released after the Thom Bell years, including collaborations with producers Michael Zager, James Mtume and Reggie Lucas, Freddie Perren, and Leon Sylvers III:
- Dancin' and Lovin' (1979) plus six bonus tracks;
- Love Trippin' (1980) plus three bonus tracks;
- Labor of Love (1981) plus two bonus tracks;
- Can't Shake This Feelin' (1981) plus three bonus tracks;
- Grand Slam (1982) plus two bonus tracks; and
- Cross Fire (1984) plus two bonus tracks.
Both Grand Slam and Cross Fire are making their worldwide authorized CD debuts on this collection. Eighteen bonus tracks encompass single edits, 12-inch versions, and remixes. As a special bonus, 1975's Spinners Live! featuring lead singer Philippé Wynne has been included as a bonus disc, completing The Spinners' 1973-1984 Atlantic Records discography following last year's release of Ain't No Price on Happiness: The Thom Bell Studio Recordings (1972-1979). Nick Robbins has remastered all of the audio, and the package (including replica wallets and Atlantic-inspired CD labels) has been designed by Roger Williams. The deluxe 32-page booklet includes comprehensive, album-by-album notes by The Second Disc's Joe Marchese drawing on exclusive quotes from John Edwards, Michael Zager, Tawatha Agee, and the late Henry Fambrough, to whom this set is dedicated.
