Remaszterizált Expanded edition újrakiadás verzió 3 bónusz dallal bővítve, 2014.
1978 would see Kool & The Gang release THE FORCE, their 11th studio album. THE FORCE is generally regarded as the album that concluded the groups full on 70’s funk period which had garnered them great success and high acclaim throughout the previous years. Included in this period is their excellent 1976 LP „Open Sesame” (CDBBR0045).
KOOL & THE GANG need no introduction. They were the top selling Soul group of the 1970’s and 1980’s having sold over 70 million albums worldwide and have received countless awards. Without them we would not have such great hits as „Summer Madness”, „Get Down On It”, „Celebration” and who could forget that slammin’ funk monster that features so heavily in Quentin Tarantino’s cult flick – Pulp Fiction; „Jungle Boogie”.
THE FORCE was released at a time when studio production and techniques took the emphasis away from the full live band so as a result, and despite the album providing funk fans with another very strong set, it did not perform as well as previous albums on the official listings where it peaked at #33 R&B and #142 Pop on the Billboard charts.
