MANHATTANS Black Tie / Love Talk (2010 issue UK 20-track 2-on-1 CD album - In 1973, the Manhattans landed at Columbia Records and recorded a dozen albums for the label through to 1986. Much of their 70s output was rooted in Philly soul. Recorded in 1979, 'Love Talk' was recorded jointly in New York and Philadelphia and spawned 'Devil In The Dark' and the US single 'Here Comes The Hurt Again'. In 1980, they adopted Chicago producer Leo Graham and got to work. After the released of 'After Midnight', Leo remained on board for 'Black Tie' and brought the signature polished sound defined by Tyrone Davis. The production throughout is full bodied and luxurious with fantastic layered harmonies from the rest of the guys as you'd expect)
