Can you imagine paying $100,000 for a group and then hiding it away for over a year?" So ran the first line in an article about Archie Whitewater back in August 1970. in the Free Lance-Star newspaper out of Fredericksburg. Virginia. "Well, that's exactly what Chess Records did with the group..." Not that Chess's eventual publicity campaign made stars out of the nine musicians in the band. In fact. Archie Whitewater's lone album for Chess's cool spin-off label Cadet Concept, is a best-kept secret among collectors - and this reissue, remastered from the original tapes, marks its first-ever appearance on CD. 
Copies of Archie Whitewater now sell for upwards of £100. fuelled chiefly by the plethora of funky drum breaks and beats scattered across the album. The album's most acknowledged track is probably 'Cross Country', a mellow funk track with some sublime electronic piano and serene vocals, because it was exhumed by Chicago hip-hop artist Common (or Common Sense. as he then called himself) for the track 'Chapter 13 (Rich Man Vs Poor Man)' on his second album Resurrection from 1994.   From http://rockasteria.blogspot.com/2013/01/archie-whitewater-archie-whitewater.html

Cover/sleeve:  Has a split at the top (4 inches?) and some warping. Edgewear and corner wear.  Bottom has a 2 inch split in the middle. Artwork is intact at the front, though.  Some wear on the back as well. 

Vinyl...is much better than sleeve. Some surface marks from the needle, a few (2 or 3) on Side 1 and some slight scuffing on Side 2.  Looks very very nice for age and sounds absolutely fabulous. Great music and a rare collectible item.
