2007 digitally remastered and expanded edition of the veteran Soulster's 1979 album. A veteran composer, vocalist, guitarist, and pianist, Prince Phillip Mitchell's roots are in vintage R&B, although he has achieved semi-cult status in soul circles. Mitchell sang with both The Premiers and The Checkmates in the early '60s. He wrote hits recorded by Mel & Tim, Millie Jackson, Joe Simon, Archie Bell & The Drells and Candi Staton and Norman Connors. His second album for Atlantic, Top Of The Line, spawned the single "Paying The Price b/w Let's Get Wet" which fared modestly on the US R&B chart, but the second single "I'm So Happy" became an anthem on the UK's Northern and Modern Soul scenes, and changes hands for exorbitant sums on the collector's market. A previously unreleased Northern Soul-styled instrumental "Take Me Away" is included on this remastered & expanded re-issue.....
