The renowned show band’s sought after soul/funk masterpiece. Remastered from the original tapes with three previously unreleased tracks included as a bonus 12”. Contains a 16 page book with never before published photos and extensive liner notes. Check!

The Rhythm Machine had undergone a series of personnel changes before they finally recorded their album for Indianapolis’ stalwart if small Lulu label. This accomplished showband produced an accessible mixture of funk, uptempo soul and synth-lead ballads; Rhythm Machine contains the masterpiece “Put A Smile On Time” – the song compiled on Soul-Cal, and arguably the song that stoked the feverish demand for original copies of this ultra-rare piece of wax. But fans turned on by that song will want to hear this album in its entirety. It’s not perfect, but it’s sincere: Rhythm Machine wore their hearts on their sleeves as they traversed the Midwest in the transitional period of the mid 1970s, perfecting the songs that would
become Rhythm Machine and, as such, their album contains warm, charming syncopated soul music that benefits greatly from the glimmer that the disco era’s decadence bestowed upon them.
