Salsoul Orchestra Up The Yellow Brick Road:Expanded Edition CD

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the Disco act. Released in 1978 and recorded at the famous Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, UP THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD was produced by the aforementioned Vincent Montana, Jr.., and was mixed by the legendary Tom Moulton. As the title suggests, UP THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD is inspired by the classic Broadway and film musicals with opening track 'Ease on Down the Road' taken from the Charlie Smalls penned the Wiz, a reinterpretation of the Wizard of Oz, whose Broadway production won seven Tony Awards. There are also two extended medleys of the famous songs from both West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof as well as a cover of 'Evergreen,' the theme from a Star Is Born, which closes the album. Sandwiched in between is a great cover of the Beatles 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. with Montana producing and arranging and Moulton mixing every track delivers the classic Salsoul sound and feel.
