{"product_id":"hi-tension-bonus-tracks","title":"Hi-Tension [Bonus Tracks]","description":"If you ask a British R\u0026amp;B expert about England's R\u0026amp;B scene of the 1970s, two of the names that will inevitably come up are Hot Chocolate and Hi-Tension. Hot Chocolate wasn't as big in the U.S. as it was in England, but at least American R\u0026amp;B fans know that band for \"You Sexy Thing\" and \"Everyone's A Winner\"-most American R\u0026amp;B fans have never even heard of Hi-Tension, although the funk\/disco\/soul band was well known in Great Britain. Released in the U.S. in 1978, this self-titled LP contains the funk singles \"Hi-Tension\" and \"British Hustle\"-both of which were major hits in England but received hardly any airplay on American stations. Hi-Tension isn't a masterpiece, but the uptempo funk selections (which draw on influences ranging from Kool \u0026amp; the Gang and Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire to Brass Construction) are generally catchy and enjoyable. Also pleasing are the LP's romantic slow jams, which include \"Autumn Love\" and the War-influenced \"You're My Girl.\" This respectable, if imperfect, LP didn't sell in the U.S., but if you're discussing British R\u0026amp;B of the 1970s, it's an album that has to be mentioned. ~ Alex Henderson","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47215126184223,"sku":"5013929151734","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/13a98bfb76d902a161706dd6e5bee7e9_2d389b26-1300-4df1-8ab5-61e635ebd207.jpg?v=1777529910","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/hi-tension-bonus-tracks","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
