"Alfie’s soaring vocals dance above and below the melody with an astonishing range and self-assured grace that is distinctly reminiscent of the legendary jazz vocalists of her early years. Dale’s keyboard workout instantly sets the warm mood, as Dennis keeps the rhythm and Tyrone supplies the addicting boom-bap that simply makes you want to move. The bottom line with this album is that throughout the recording it sounds like they are all having the times of their life, which in turn is quite uplifting. The crisp live recording allows you to visualize the bands energy. During every listen I picture Alfie strutting across the stage as the rest of the band exchange looks of approval, all realizing that they are part of something special. If you find this record, you, like me will be very happy."

"Quite amazing!"

"The mellow, sunshiny madness of its electric pianos and vocal harmonies bathed my mind."

"It's wonderful. In fact, the other week I brought it with me to Las Vegas where we (Wax Poetics magazine) were DJing in the shoe room at the Pool fashion trade show (an off-shoot of the ultra-large Magic fashion trade show). Anyway, our DJ spun a couple songs off your record, and he really loved it (as did the other Wax Poetics guys--and the vendors in the shoe room!)."

"After hearing it in Vegas, I realize I need this record in my life. And I think the time is right for more people to know about this record."
Andre Torres, Editor-In-Chief, Wax Poetics

"I just got the LP yesterday. When I got it home, I carefully unwrapped it and was pleased to see a perfectly mint and sealed copy of the dusty ring-worn prize my friend rory had once played for me. Of course, the one track he had played for me was "Livin' In the City", so I immediately gravitated to that one, and dropped the needle. Fantastic! But that was the only track I'd heard ... that's pretty much the only track anyone ever talks about. Has no one flipped the record?

"I'll Take You There" is the real gem on that one. Now, that's a song that I generally ignore on track listings ... I usually don't like it, but what you guys did to that tune is incredible. The totally stripped down opening with Dennis' killer fat bass, and Alfie's beautiful voice ... oh my god! "Ain't nothing but a poarty" ... I was blown away by the bass runs and Dale's work on the Rhodes ... I can't believe no one's beating down your door for the rights to put that track on a compilation.

"I also have to mention the recording itself ... rarely do live records come close to sounding as perfect as studio ones ... until i heard your record. I'm so glad I got my hands on a copy.

By the way, I played "I'll Take You There" at my gig last night, and beyond my getting tons of props, I saw a lot of smiles, heads bobbing, and just an all round good vibe."

"Super rare album by the Melton Brothers - includes title track 'Livin' in the City'. You have to hear it to believe it! Beautiful jazzy soul track on a self-pressed LP from 1979. Rare as hen's teeth."
