･ UK R&B/Soul group DELEGATION released their debut LP The Promise of Love in 1977 on State Records two years in to a recording and performing career that continues to this day. This reissue completes BBR’s remaster series of the group’s first four LP’s. The Promise Of Love features the original line-up of Ricky Bailey Len Coley and Roddy Harris and was produced by Ken Gold who along with Mick Denne wrote the majority of the songs fresh from their breakthrough success with The Real Thing’s “You To Me Are Everything.” Gold was instrumental in championing DELEGATION and secured the deal with State. With an alternative version issued for the US market this release sees the original UK album making its CD debut with bonus tracks from the US release as well as their early non-album singles issued on State.
･ Big Break Records is proud to present Delegation’s The Promise Of Love. Featuring the alternative tracks chosen for the US release and all the non-album single sides from that period as well as comprehensive liner notes from Christian John Wikane incorporating new interviews with Bailey and Gold this is essential listening for all Soul Disco and Pop fans.
