The Emotions Untouched (LP, colored Vinyl)

(Real Gone Music) 11 tracks, clearwater blue vinyl

The greatness of a girl group, presented by the Chicago-based Hutchinson Sisters (featuring Theresa Davis on this record) and co-producers Isaac Hayes, David Porter, and Ronnie Williams! The recordings at Muscle Shoals and Stax Studios also seem to have lent The Emotions’ sound a certain rawness; this 1971 classic on the Volt label offers the perfect blend of sweet and sassy. “Show Me How” was the hit, but it’s “Blind Alley” that made Untouched one of the most sought-after collector’s items of its kind: This track is one of the most frequently sampled in the entire pop and hip-hop scene, notably by Big Daddy Kane (“Ain’t No Half-Steppin’”) and Mariah Carey (“Dreamlover”). Pressed in black and clear blue vinyl editions and cut entirely analog from the original two-track master!
