THE COMMITTEE - GIVE IN TO THE POWER OF LOVE

Unfortunately, I don't know any details about this excellent record. Of course a google search for the name "Committee" turns up thousands of pages of what I don't want, and adding the title of the record just brings up past auction results and people posting that they want the record.

I've never seen another release by the group, so I'm assuming that it's their only one.

The bass player sounds uncannily like Bernard Reed (the legendary Chicago musician who was part of the Brunswick house band as well as countless sessions), so this may be a Chicago production, or perhaps an excellent mimic of the Chi-town sound.

A search on "Eugene Gold music" reveals another NMI release that was recorded in Kansas City, so this may also be a KC track:

There are some other Committee singles, though not sure if they are the same group:
California My Way / You For Weren't It If (White Whale 257, 10/1967)
The Hard Way / Hey You (Liberty LBF-15154, 11/1968)
Memories Of Melinda / Sleep Tight Honey (PYE 7N.17826, 10/1969)

thanks, but those are different groups.

I've just spent the best part of an hour digging and found nothing on label, producer, recording studios etc. They definitely have a familiar sound, but can't put my finger on it - sorry. I wonder if someone like Craig Moerer could help?
