## Description

Digitally remastered and expanded special two CD edition of the Soul vocal trio's 1970 debut. They are the longest running girl group in the world and Maybe was their debut album in 1970, it put them on the musical map after a couple of years without major success. After later hits on Philadelphia International Records, Roulette put together an album of mainly unreleased material - the result was So Much Love, which is reproduced in it's entirety on the second disc in this deluxe reissue. Released in a deluxe Super Jewel case, with 22 bonus tracks, Maybe is a must for all Soul and Pop fans out there!

It's no accident that the Three Degrees' career started taking off at approximately the same time the Supremes were falling apart. As this excellent collection (which contains all of the group's 1970-72 recordings for the Roulette label) makes clear, the Degrees represented the next step forward in female singing groups, and a very big step it was.  Unlike their later situation on Philadelphia International Records (and unlike the Supremes), at this point the Degrees - in their classic lineup of Fayette Pinkney, Sheila Ferguson and Valerie Holiday - weren't having any material written specifically for them. Instead, they tackle a wide array of covers here, moving as easily between eras as they do between genres. Apart from providing the title of their debut album, the Degrees' rap-prefaced version of the 1958 Chantels classic "Maybe" became their first major hit, peaking at number 4 on the US R&B chart in the summer of 1970. 3-D workouts on songs by the James Gang, Sly Stone, Joe South, Tommy James and other contemporary artists are similarly transcendent, with those trademark flawless harmonies already in full swing and beautiful solo work by each member of the group. Of particular interest is the six-minute rethink of Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park", which actually omits the title line made famous by Richard Harris but is if anything even more gut-wrenching than his version in its sheer emotive power. Impressive as the commercial results of its various singles may have been, it's a wonder the "Maybe" LP didn't fare a lot better even in the feverishly progressive and competitive musical atmosphere of forty-four years ago. Rounding out the first disc are alternate and/or mono versions of some tracks from "Maybe", along with non-LP singles such as "I Do Take You" and a few previously unreleased efforts, all of which are well worth hearing.  Disc two starts with the Three Degrees' second and final Roulette "album", "So Much Love", which was released in 1975 to cash in on the group's far greater success at PIR. "Maybe" makes its second full-length appearance here, with "I Do Take You" also tossed in for good measure; but most of this material hadn't yet been released at the time, and all of it is excellent, with Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With" and Roberta Flack's "Trade Winds" providing especially good examples of the Degrees' seemingly boundless facility. As on the first disc, a wealth of bonus material (this time from 1971-2) brings the CD up to a generous seventy-two minutes and change.  Obviously anyone with the least interest in soul music of the psychedelic era will want to grab this collection; but rock, pop and even country fans will find much to enjoy herein as well. The Three Degrees may never have enjoyed the sort of Stateside chart success the Supremes had, but they were in many ways a superior and more interesting group, in which all three members got their share of the spotlight and absolute magic happened when they raised their voices in unison. No maybes about it, folks; this one belongs in your music library!

    The Three Degrees Complete Roulette Recordings
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2012*

This 2 CD set is a beautiful and bountiful package of all the Three Degrees recordings for Roulette Records in the early 70's. The precision of their harmonies are a quality that the group had honed and perfected through many years of singing, rehearsing and playing live . The most famous line-up of Sheila, Valerie and Fayette all share in lead vocals. The diversity of styles and genres is more evident here than in their later recordings. The group didn't own to any one sound yet . Soul, funk, pop, standards, ballads are all here . Before the lush symphonic perfection of their Philadelphia International albums & hit singles in the mid 70's, the Three Degrees were already gettin' down. Songs like YOU'RE THE ONE, YOU'RE THE FOOL, I WON'T LET YOU GO and FIND MY WAY are all very funky, with horns and a tight rhythm section. Songs like I DO TAKE YOU and I WANNA BE YOUR BABY showcase their shimmering harmonies and ilustrates the group had the sound of Philadelphia before even signing with Philly International. Valerie had a lot of leads on many of the songs here, especially on the uptempo funk numbers. Her most famous lead is on MAYBE , here in both the album and single versions, which are both different. The fact that she wrote the opening spoken words and didn't even get a songwriting credit is another example of how record companies and managers controlled and robbed artists. For the 42 total tracks on these 2 CD's, 19 of the songs are from their 2 albums MAYBE and SO MUCH LOVE [ the long album version of MAYBE was on both albums and is repeated twice to keep the original album's programming ]. There are 13 non-LP A and B sides in mono , and 10 album tracks in mono from their single versions. For the first time, there is a long version of YOURS and an unreleased song HANDLE WITH CARE. The non-album songs in particular, are very contemporary and soulful and a good example of early 70's funk. Rarities like SHADES OF GREEN and their version of George Harrison's ISN'T IT A PITY are here . For the song REQUIEM,  the songwriting credit is listed as unknown, but it was written by Jimmy Webb and recorded first by The 5th Dimension on their 1968 album " The Magic Garden ". Their version of MACARTHUR PARK from their first album is wonderful to hear with airy sound effects and very different than the other versions of this song. Liner notes and a photo pack booklet make this a joyous , expertly done set that befits the music and the group's legacy. It also easily surpasses the 1995 CD reissue on Sequel Records called " The Roulette Years " that featured 22 tracks. So get on board...the Three Degrees are gettin' down here in abundance .

    Memory Lane Hits
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013*

I fell in love with the Three Degrees in the 70's while living in Chicago. I used to work at a club there which catered to a lot of gay people. I first got turned on to their wonderful harmonization through watching a bunch of lovely & talented *Transgender ladies perform their hits via lip syncing to their tunes. I fell in love.My favorite at the time was a beautiful cover of the group Chantels hit titled "Maybe".It was a love affair after. I bought their recordings whenever it was possible, especially in the Disco era. I highly recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of girl groups.
