The Singers Unlimited - Four of Us (1973/2014) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

After their a-capella debut and their first album with instrumental accompaniment In Tune, with the Oscar Peterson Trio, The Singers Unlimited began to expand their portfolio with Four of Us, their fourth consecutive album, and their third for MPS.

As always under the vocal tutelage of Gene Puerling, and now augmented on some of the tunes by rhythm section orchestrated by Les Hooper, The Singers Unlimited took to task more or less contemporary pop music standards, as well as a few lesser known songs. These as well as the a-capella songs (Where Is Love, Snowfall, Jennifer's Rabbit) underwent that special "SU" treatment. The vocal band presented themselves on top of their abilities. In the technical field, Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer made sure the difficult multi-track recordings turned out sounding like the most natural thing.

The Singers Unlimited were never Rock 'n' Roll, that's why it's difficult to recommend them to a broad public. Fans of vocal groups, and a-capella in particular, should check out this record by all means.
