Regarding this record: The AMBASSADORS: “Soul Summit” (Arctic – A-LPS-1005) Original US first pressing – white label PROMO issue in top condition. Although this is filled out with covers of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," "Yes I'm Ready," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," on the whole this is a timeless and a solid soul album of early Gamble/Huff-styled Philadelphia soul. Even though Gamble and Huff's own contributions were peripheral (Jimmy Bishop produced, Gamble co-wrote the small hit "I Really Love You," and Huff played piano), several musicians who would play in Gamble-Huff's house bands participated. The harmonies are lively, the arrangements (by Bobby Martin, who would also work with Gamble-Huff) satisfyingly busy, and the material swinging. All in all, the LP is a mix of original material and quirky Philadelphia style covers of songs like 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' and 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling'. There's also a delicious medley that pairs Barbara Mason's 'Yes I'm Ready' with Smokey Robinson's 'I'll Try Something New' and a great version of 'I Dig You Baby'... as templates for sweet Philly harmonizing, they are perfect. Of the original songs Jimmy Bishop's own 'Music' and 'If I'm All You Got' are raucous dancers. Philly soul fiends may consider it a lost nugget of sorts. Total classic and rarely seen white label PROMO ISSUE!!! Great and clean condition copy!!!! Hard to improve upon…
