Se dobbiamo menzionare qualcuno che ha contribuito a rendere grande il nome della Philadelphia International Records nel mondo, questi sono Gene McFadden e John Whitehed. Il loro nome è indiscutibilmente legato ad un grande successo del 1979 dal titolo Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now, ma la loro carriera artistica cominciò moltissimi anni prima.... Erano gli anni 60 quando il duo si formò sotto il nome di The Epsilon e incidevano per la famosissima etichetta Stax Records fu proprio la Stax che propose loro un contratto come supporter nel Tour Americano dell'allora popolarissimo Otis Redding lo stop avvenne sul finire degli anni 60 quando nel 1967 Otis Redding mori in un incidente aereo. Nel 1971 il duo cominciò la fruttuosa collaborazione con Kenneth Gamble e Leon Huff, fondatori della Philadelphia International Records, li scrissero a quattro mani nel 1972, uno dei brani più famosi degli O'Jays, Back Stabbers la canzone raggiunse in poco tempo la vetta delle classifiche Americane e si guadagnò anche il Disco D'oro. Con il nome di The Epsilon i due compositori scissero brani come; Talk Of The Town, Super Groover (All Mover Night), Bumpin' Boogie, I Apologize e The Echo tutti pubblicati su etichetta TSOP (The Sound Of Philadelphia) Degni di nota tra le loro composizioni spicca anche Wake Up Everybody scritto con Victor Carstarphen nel 1975 per Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, e cantata dall'indimenticato Teddy Pendergrass. Nel 1978 la carriera di Autori e Compositori di McFadden & Whitehead era al culmine, avevano accumulato la bellezza di 22 Dischi D'oro, 2 Album di Platino, e 2 Nnomination ai Grammy. Nel 1979 la svolta Gable & Huff fanno entrare in studio di registrazione il duo, e nasce uno dei brani simbolo del Philly Sound Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now. la canzone ottenne un successo planetario e si legò indelebilmente al nome di MacFadden & Whitehead, Del brano vennero pubblicate diverse versioni nel corso degli anni successivi, tra le più popolari quelle di Jako Henderson del 1979 in versione Rap che cambiò il titolo in Rhythm Talk, quella di Big Daddy Kane in versione HipHop del 1989, e per finire, quella di Luther Vandross in versione Soul del 1995, della stessa furono realizzate anche le versioni Remix House dal noto Dj produttore David Morales. Nel corso della loro carriera artistica McFadden & Whitehed hanno collaborato o scritto canzoni per innumerevoli artisti, tra i più famosi: James Brown, Gloria Gaynor, The Intruders, The Jacksons, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Melba Moore, People's Choice, Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, Stevie Wonder e molti altri. Una delle ultime apparizioni in pubblico la fecero nel 1990 organizzarono uno Show nostalgico per tutti i loro Fan. John Whitehead naque il 10 Luglio 1948, e mori l'11 Maggio del 2004, assassinato a Philadelphia, mentre si trovava in auto con la nipote, un chiaro caso di scambio di persona, ancora oggi il caso rimane irrisolto, aveva 56 anni. Gene McFadden nacque nel 1949, e morì stroncato da un cancro il 27 Gennaio 2006, aveva 57 anni. Di questo incredibile duo, Cantanti Compositori e Produttori ci rimane il loro testamento artistico ricco di splendide canzoni che hanno saputo tenere il passo con i tempi, e che ancora oggi riscuotono il successo che meritano. In questa raccolta di grandi hits del periodo Philly Sound sono contenuti i brani più significativi della loro carriera e oltre alla versione Extended Mix di Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now, sono state aggiunte 2 Bonus Track. che rendono l'opera ancora più rara.
(These standards have been expanded to include definitions of CD specific gradings)
Mint [M]
Vinyl: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
CD: Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed.
------------------------------------------------------------ Near Mint [NM or M-]
Vinyl: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
CD: Near perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling.
------------------------------------------------------------ Very Good Plus [VG+]
Vinyl: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
CD: A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
------------------------------------------------------------ Very Good [VG]
Vinyl: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
CD: Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.
------------------------------------------------------------ Good [G], Good Plus [G+]
Vinyl: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
CD: There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip
------------------------------------------------------------- Poor [P], Fair [F]:
Vinyl: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
CD: The CD (if it is included) may or may not play some or all of the tracks. See the seller's comments for details.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded, or water damaged.
------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Jewel Cases: Standard Jewel Cases are not graded as they are replaceable.
