Mastered for Vinyl from the Original Tapes!
Pressed on Transparent Red Vinyl!
Young, Tough and Terrible is the second and final album from The Lost Generation. The Chicago-based soul group featured vocalists Lowrell Simon, Fred Simon (Chi-Lites), Larry Brownlee, and Jesse Dean, and was only active for a few years in the '70s. Known for their powerful harmonies and forays into funk, the group was able to find a home with the legendary Brunswick Records. This reissue will be the first U.S. pressing in half a century, mastered for vinyl from the original tapes.
Their 1972 album is the equal of anything the Isley Brothers or the Temptations released around the same time in terms of keeping a strong balance of funk-forward jams and quiet storm balladry. Head straight for their take on Al Green's 'Tired of Being Alone' or 'Thin Line Between Love and Hate,' a slow jam originally recorded by the Persuaders that simmers here like a heat mirage.
