1974 - Ohio Players - Climax [mp3@320] Grad58 torrent

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Review from allmusic.com
by Alex Henderson

By the time Westbound released Climax in 1974, the Ohio Players had left the
Detroit-based label and signed with Mercury, where they would soon explode
commercially with the superb Skin Tight. But Westbound still had enough
material in the can to put together a few more Players LPs, including Climax
and the 1975 release Rattlesnake. This collection contains a few songs that
had already come out on previous Players albums -- "Players Balling" first
appeared on 1971's Pain, while "Sleep Talk" and the instrumental "Food
Stamps, Y'all" had been heard on 1973's Ecstasy. But most of the tunes were
previously unreleased, including the title song (a soul-jazz instrumental) and
covers of "Proud Mary" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." Except for
"Players Balling," this collection is unremarkable -- generally competent, but
not remarkable or mind-blowing. Climax is enjoyable and interesting if you're a
serious Ohio Players collector, although more casual listeners would do well to
skip this album and spend their money on Fire, Skin Tight, or Honey instead.
