Synopsis

Album Description
Sister Sledge were an R&B vocal group from Philadelphia consisting of sisters Debra, Joni, Kim & Kathy Sledge. They issued numerous albums throughout the1970's & 1980's. They are best known for their big hit "We Are Family". Even though that album has been issued on CD, most of their other albums have not. We now rectify that situation with the release of seven of their albums, all but one making their worldwide CD debuts.

Best of Latter Period Sledge

"Right up there with "All American Girls," the hooks on the track, "When the Boys Meet The Girls" (along with some of the best call-response arrangemnts ever) are the best of their career. This Niles Rodgers produced album is a long time coming in being available on CD!!"

"It was ten years since Sister Sledge debuted with Circle of Love and five years since Nile Rodgers had spun pure musical gold with them.And fresh off of work on Chic's unheralded Believer and Madonna's blockbuster Like a Virgin Nile officially brings Sister Sledge into the mid 80's with this album's strong new wave funk overtones. The title song,"Dancing On The Jagged Edge","The Boy Most Likely","Following The Leader" and "Peer Pressure" capture that spirit which finds the flourishes of DX7 and synclaviar synthesizers colliding with live drumming for a sound that's very MTV generation friendly."Frankie",a bouncy little pop ditty makes a brief detour from this sound with a slightly more organic feel to it. Same can be said for "Hold On Poppy" and all the songs here are packed with unbeatable hooks and vocals. Strangly enough this never got a follow up for more then a decade;by 1985 Sister Sledge's sound had been eclipsed by modern day female singers,some of whom were Prince proteges so the Sledge's were starting to be seen as a bit over the hill. So again I am glad Wounded Bird reissued this and allowed this album to be enjoyed by a new generation who've been seperate from it long enough to appreciate it's charms."
