Your Piece Of The Rock / Adventures In The Land

• Four fantastic albums by SOLAR recording artists Dynasty
• Plus ten bonus 7” versions of their biggest hits
• With sleeve notes from MOJO and Record Collector journalist Charles Waring

The Albums ‘Your Piece Of The Rock’, ‘Adventures In The Land Of Music’, ‘The Second Adventure’ and ‘Right Back At Cha’ cover a period from 1979 through to 1988 when the Los Angeles-created band were key to the success of SOLAR Records. Put together by producer and label head Dick Griffey, and record producer Leon Sylvers III, the band was completed by keyboardist Kevin Spencer and vocalists Nidra Beard and Linda Carriere.

The ‘Your Piece Of The Rock’ album features the full length 7:20 version of ‘I Don’t Want To Be A Freak (But I Can’t Help Myself)’ a club classic from 1979, while ‘Adventures In The Land Of Music’ includes their Top 10 R&B smash ‘I’ve Just Begun To Love You’ as well as the super cool album title track.

Dynasty followed that in 1981 with ‘The Second Adventure’ album and the single ‘Here I Am’, a real banger that kicks the package off. The album also featured the RnB charting ‘Love In The Fast Lane’. ‘Right Back At Cha!’ followed in 1982 featuring a host of great dance tracks including ‘Check It Out’ and ‘Strokin’.
