The Police were one of the biggest sellers of the early 80's and found their audience fairly early. And Round Two is acknowledged as THE Stylistics album to get...not trying to start any shit, but how are those underappreciated? Both albums seem to get plenty love (although the Stylistics LP is semi-rare).
Shalamar - Three For Love ("Make That Move" is boogie fiyah)
This might be for young cats, but errebody in my gen had this LP. Shalamar was a big group. That's why Jody Whatley was able to blow up in the 80's. And dont get me started on Howard Hewitt.
This question iz really broad. I think the public underappriciates this lp.
If you're into 80s pop/New wave at all, you must, I repeat MUST, get "This is the Ice age" by Martha and the Muffins. Why weren't they huge?

Hey Pickwick,
Perhaps, I was thinking that these albums don't get love on the 'Strut, since I've never seen anyone mention them when talking about good albums. Then again, they're probably not exotic enough to warrant mention here.

Similar to Big Stacks' selections, I was thinking more along the lines of LPs that, possibly due to lack of Raerity, don't seem to get mentioned much here on SoulStrut.

I havent re-listened to this LP in a couple years. But, ive owned it for several, and have tried and tried to feel it, but always found it boring, like it was missing something or just ill conceived or something. I'll have to dig, but this is definatley making me wanna give it a listen.
Jay Dee - Come On In Love. Barry White production with more than a few moments of Together Brothersness, same year of release. Can't find a cover pic - surely a sign of underappreciation.

Because they were horrible.
Yea, co-sign massive. Just dug it out and i was right years ago. It fucking sucks.
Co-sign. Right Now (Avco Embassy 1970) is also worth it for her version of Leftover Wine, among other tracks. Couple of shockers lurking on there too.
