This is the first UK outing on CD for the self- titled album. These Two albums include the singles "Sho Feels Good To Me", the #1 U.S. R&B chart single "Ffun" and the bands theme song "Confunkshunize Ya", also included as a Bonus Track is the Rare 12 version of "Ffun". Both of these albums were awarded gold status in America. Both albums were produced by Con Funk Shun and on Secrets they were assisted by legendary Soul producer Skip Scarborough. Package includes sleeve notes by Rico Washington with anecdotes from Band member Felton C Pilate II.

~Review by Amazon

During the early 2010s, Cherry Red's Robinsongs label reissued almost all of Con Funk Shun's Mercury releases on CD. This is the first in the series, which combined Con Funk Shun (1976) and Secrets (1977). The latter was the band's breakthrough, featuring the number one R&B smash "Ffun," the number 31 hit "Confunkshunize Ya," and the gorgeous title track an album cut that should have been major, with group harmonies as stunning as anything released around the same time by Pleasure or the Blackbyrds. The two albums fit on one disc, with the 12" version of "Ffun" added as a bonus track. The packaging leaves a lot to be desired, but the sets were all priced reasonably. Each one sold for roughly the same price as one regular full-price disc.
