SPINNERS

The Chrome Collection

$49.98 CD

The first-ever boxed set from the peerless practitioners of Philly Soul. Produced with the involvement of the band, The Chrome Collection fills three discs with smash hits (“I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling In Love,” “The Rubberband Man”), pre-Atlantic singles, and previously unreleased material. The accompanying book features extensive liner notes, rare archival photos, and tributes from David Bowie, Dionne Warwick, and Elvis Costello.  

Though originally from Detroit, Spinners are unanimously revered as the ultimate in sweet Philadelphia soul. Fabled soul architect Thom Bell crafted their lush, sophisticated sound, which shot them to the top of both pop and R&B charts. Propelled by tight, punching horns and seductive strings, Spinners songs ruled the airwaves through the ’70s, resulting in a long string of gold-certified albums and a profound impact on the shape of R&B.
