This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print New Birth LPs: Birth Day and It's Been a Long Time, both originally issued on RCA in 1970 and 1974. Highlights among the 15 tracks include "I Can Understand It," "It's Been a Long Time," and "Wild Flower," which provide a perfect combination of funk and smooth soul. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
I love New Birth and too bad they didn't make more albums. The one thing I miss about music from that era is that the artist back then COULD SING! All the monotonous junk we have now a days makes me hang on to all my albums and cassettes. I know I'm dating myself,lol
this is a great album by great singers and musicians. Wildflower is an all time favorite and I can hear it on any given day and it makes me stop in my tracks. WOW!!!
