Produced by group member James Mitchell, 1973's "I'm In Love With You" may be The Detroit Emeralds' most consistent and enjoyable release.  These guys had a lot going for them.  Abrim Tilmon may have been the front man and lead singer, but the group was blessed with three strong singers; brother Ivory Tilmon and friend Mitchell both having first rate voices.  Unlike most soul groups, under the tutelage of the late Abrim, they also wrote all of their material.  With Abrim responsible for most of the ten selection, in typical early-'70s fashion, musically the set was heavy on ballads and mid-tempo tunes.  As good as ballads like 'So Long' and 'I Think of You' were, that served to make the non-ballads jump out at you.  The opener 'Shake Your Head' was a nice, dance-ready tune, but the album highlight was the Detroit soul-meets Sly and the Family Stone stomper 'You're Getting a Little Too Smart'.   Opening up with an oft sampled drum solo, and an aqually good bass line it was one of those rare tunes that was worth the cost of the album.  These guys were clearly one of the genres' most talented entities.   Makes you wonder why they aren't better known.  Besides, how could you not admire a group with the gumption to wear matching lime green leisure suits ?

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)            The record is  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

(PLEASE NOTE: THE SHRINK WRAP HAS SEPARATED ALONG ABOUT 40% OF THE OPENING SIDE, BUT THE ALBUM IS STILL VISIBLY SEALED)
