Music reviews of Rock Steady with Flo & Eddie

Music Review: 1981 FLO&EDDIE ALBUM NOW ON CD
Rating: 4 Stars

THE 1981 FLO & EDDIE ALBUM ON CD, WAS RE-RELEASED IN 1987 AS RHINO LP "PRINCE FLO & JAH EDWARD".

CONSIDERING THAT THE EXCELLENT "PHLORESCENT LEECH & EDDIE" (1972) AND "FLO AND EDDIE" (1973) ALBUMS, FEATURING HOWARD AND MARK PLUS "MANY 'MOTHERS'", HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS, THIS IS A CURIOUS CHOICE FOR RE-RELEASE.

WHILE THE ROCK STEADY ALBUM MAY BE DISCONCERTING TO THOSE THAT EXPECTED FLO & EDDIE ROCK, THIS WAS FLO & EDDIE'S 1981 TRIBUTE ALBUM IN WHICH THEY EXPRESSED THEIR LOVE FOR REGGAE MUSIC.

EVERY SONG HAS A TIGHT "ROCK STEADY" BEAT. NUMEROUS CLICKS, SHAKES AND BOINKS EMBELLISH THE BACKGROUND AND THE VOCALS ARE "DIGNIFIED" AND EXCELLENT.

PRISONER OF LOVE, MOVING AWAY, DANCIN MOOD, PARTY TIME, ROCK WITH ME AND JUST LIKE A RIVER GROW ON THE LISTENER AFTER REPEATED PLAYINGS, SORT OF LIKE AN OLD KINKS ALBUM. THE WHOLE ALBUM IS GREAT. IT'S WORTH THE PRICE. (EVEN MOM AND DAD WILL LIKE IT!)

THIS WRITER HAS BEEN A FLO AND EDDIE FOLLOWER SINCE 1967. ROCK STEADY WAS THE LAST "ORIGINAL" MUSIC TO BE RELEASED IN THE CONTEXT OF A COMPLETE FLO & EDDIE STUDIO ALBUM (1981).

LONG-TIME FLO & EDDIE FANS HOPE THAT SOMEDAY:

** THE 1972 AND 1973 ALBUMS WILL BE RELEASED ON CD WITH MANY BONUS CUTS.

** THEY WILL BE REWARDED WITH THAT "COLLECTION OF NEW STUDIO RECORDINGS" WHICH FLO & EDDIE HAVE BEEN PROMISING IN CONCERT FOR THE LAST 22 YEARS.

MAYBE "BURGER KING BUCKS" WILL HELP.

UNTIL THEN "ROCK STEADY" WILL HAVE TO DO.
