Not Bored By The Chairmen

"I first heard Chairmen of the Board on the Invictus Soul Box Set. Why weren't these guys famous? This is incredible Motown soul. Acid, fuzzClav. Hypertight, bassdrum heavy rhythm. Wah-wah guitar. Soulful harmonies reminicent of the Tops or Temps. Above all: great songwriting (some courtesy of Motown's legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland hitmakers).
If you like funk, if you like soul, if you like Motown, you gotta get this excellent set.

"This is it! The best collection of the Chairmen of the Board. Out of print for many years and here it comes again. This record is for people who really like soul music and it contains many of their greatest performances. "I'm On My Way To A Better Place" and "Hypnotic Music" alone are worth the price of this collection but there is a ton of other hip stuff here. Excellent re-mastering too. Castle Music has done a wonderful job of making fine, old music available. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, 10 stars!"
