2018 three CD set. For the very first time you can now get your hands on a Definitive Collection of the Funk sensation that was The Ohio Players. Robinsongs are proud to be the first label to combine the Capitol, Westbound, Mercury, Arista and Boardwalk repertoire to make this unique compilation, but we did not stop there, we have also included material from band members Junie Morrison, Sugarfoot and Shadow (Billy Beck, Clarence Willis & Diamond) to give you a total career overview of this exceptional funk band. This package also includes a 28-page color booklet, that includes an essay by Christian John Wikane with contributions by the band's drummer and architect of the Ohio Players beat James "Diamond" Williams. Robinsongs have divided the package in three parts The Early Years, The Golden Years and The Later & Solo Years, the early years kicks the package off with two tracks from the Capitol Records album The Observations In Time where we can see the direction that the band is heading, onto Westbound where the band recorded their breakthrough single 'Funky Worm', a R&B #1 which featured Junie as the voice of Granny, other standout Westbound tracks are 'Pleasure', 'Pain' and 'Ecstasy', Disc One finishes with two cuts from their first Mercury album Skin Tight including the hit 'Jive Turkey'. Disc Two kicks off with arguably the band's biggest hit 'Fire' which went to #1 in the R&B chart and the Album went to #1 in the Billboard album chart, three other #1 singles feature on this disc 'Sweet Sticky Thing', 'Love Rollercoaster' and 'Who'd She Coo' which was also the band's only UK chart single. Other stand out tracks on this disc are 'I Want To Be Free'
