Reviews of the CD "RELEASED"
Reviewer: Joe Celia
Great mixes: clean, sweet, punchy, tight, kicking, and optimistic, fill of emotion. I love the whole thing. These guys did good and each cut has something special. Great arrangement on "Close Your Eyes" and the response vocals on "Matters of the Heart" are just two examples of how this CD just slays me. The lead vocals on "Matters of the Heart" remind me of Curtis Mayfield. I thought that no one would ever be able to come close to the pure rhythmic emotion and truth that Curtis brought until I heard this cut. God has shown his creative energy in the Ingui Brothers voices and the love came through to my ears. If you dig real Philadelphia R&B then this CD is a must have.
Blue eyed soul at it's best
Reviewer: Kathy McDonnell
This CD is blue-eyed soul at its best. These guys are amazing singers and some soulful mother f?&7&&&s! The songs are all great. No one knows "Matters of the Heart" better than the Soul Survivors.
The" Philly Sound" is back
Reviewer: LuLu March
The Philly Sound is back. Smooth, sexy, husky sounding vocals. Track 10, "BEEDO" is my favorite. Makes me want to sing with the backup singers.
Perfect in everyway
Reviewer: Marilyn Cantor
It takes me back to the smooth sounding harmonies that over the years we seemed to have lost. I find this music to be relaxing, comforting and easy to "groove" on......... I enjoy it very much! I hope to hear much more of the Soul Survivors

Review of the re-issue pressing of The Soul Survivors -- When The Whistle Blows Anything Goes With The Soul Survivors . . .
Some of the best blue-eyed soul to come out of America during the late 60s -- a soaring batch of tunes from a combo that broke down borders wherever they went! The album's the first by the group -- and easily their best -- based around their biggest hit ever, "Expressway (To Your Heart)", one of those songs you've heard a million times, but which always grabs you when it hits the break in the chorus! There's none of the "fake soul" style vocals that rock acts in later years would try to pick up, and these guys instead play like they're just a Philly group, ready to mash it up at some tasty club gigs. The whole thing's great, and titles include "Do You Feel It", "Respect", "Hey Gyp", "The Rydle", and "Taboo-India". CD features 4 bonus tracks all written and arranged by Gamble & Huff -- including regular and extended versions of "Explosion In Your Soul", plus "Impossible Mission" and "Poor Man's Dream".
