Description
Not too interesting, because Alan only arranged one song on this album: "Fill You Up"  (Alan is credited incorrectly as Alan Sylvestri). This is the first and only album of the group Mystique (Ralph Johnson, Larry Brownlee, Fred Simon and Charles Fowler). Mystique was formed in 1976 by Ralph Johnson, the former lead singer of The Impressions, but never really broke through. This album has that seventies soul/R&B sound to it and it certainly isn't bad but it isn't top-class either. The original LP from 1977 got a CD release in 2000 with 10 bonus tracks of the same sessions that were never released. The CD is extremely hard to get, but the LP is easier to obtain (Curtom Records CU 5012 / (P) Distributed by Warner Bros. Records).
