The soundtrack for a film about a record producer (played by Harvey Keitel) who is desperate to break a hot young band (music, not surprisingly supplied by EW&F) but who is being ordered to continue producing bland pop records. The film was a flop, but the soundtrack was a boon for band. They were not novices either, having already released 5 or 6 albums previously.
Their mix of soul, funk and proto-disco feels pretty fresh here. I know that a few people find them a touch cheesy, but I have a bit of a soft spot for them myself.
