Review: There are veterans and there are veterans: by the time Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes became darlings of the nascent disco scene with a string of releases on Philadelphia International in the mid-70s, they'd already been in the game for 20 years, having formed as doo-wop outfit The Charlemagnes way back in 1954! Here, though, is a chance to catch them in their late 70s prime, with Teddy Pendergrass supplying the lead vocals on two reissued ultra-soulful disco cuts taken from 1979's 'The Blue Album', only one of which ('Prayin') was granted a single release at the time.
