THE 7000 DOLLAR ACETATE!

* Analogue Remastered

The year is 1971, a time when nightclubs still had live bands perform the musical hits of the day.
Every city had its local stars and for the club scene of the city of Columbus, Ohio it was the CROWD PLEASERS.
Founded in 1968 by June Carey along with her younger brothers, twins El & Al, the seven-piece band grew into an in-demand act that performed all over the city.
In April 1971 they went into the studio to record eight songs, but an actual release never materialized.
In time the master tape was destroyed and all that was left were two acetates. But as time passed, these too were lost.
Over the years, a growing market for obscure funk and soul albums emerged. When one of the acetates went up for sale on eBay in 2011, it sold for $3,900!
Eleven years later, in 2022, the last remaining copy also appeared on eBay.
Collectors drove the price up until it finally sold for a staggering $7,000!

So now, after more than 53 years, Al Carey & Regrooved Records proudly presents the previously unreleased 1971 album of the CROWD PLEASERS featuring renditions of hits by Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone's Little Sister, Neil Young, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Cold Blood, Dionne Warwick, The Lettermen and the original funk break track "Eggs & Bacon".
