Notes2013 five CD box set containing a quintet of albums packaged in cardboard mini LP sleeves and housed in a slipcase. Tower of Power has remained a significant Californian funk/soul/R&B horn band since it's formation in 1968. As well as performing as a band in their own right, Tower of Power have worked with an impressive selection of other acts as a horn section including major acts such Carlos Santana, the Grateful Dead and John Lee Hooker. Included in this collection is the 1973 hit 'So Very Hard to Go', from the band's most successful album to date: Tower of Power, which reached #15 in the Billboard 200, and was later certified Gold. Included in this 5 cd collection are the hit songs 'You're Still a Young Man,' on the debut album Bump City, and 'Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream),' on the 1974 album Back to Oakland.

  • Tower of Power keeps standing tall

    I grew up in the Bay Area and watched this Band perform live and they were great. They usually were the Band who preceded a Major Artist but they kept their own style and still it amazes Me to listen and bring back those memories. They were simply a great Band which other were to follow some of their style. I for a time lived right across the street from them and it was always some wild thing going on. I really had some fun with them. S Thompson, Oregon

  • I still dance to the music at 71!!

    I’ve been a fan of Tower of Power since they got started in the 70’s. I played their music in my home and me and my children would dance and laugh and have a wonderful time. Their music reminds me of a great time in my life. I’m glad that you had the cd’s at such a good price.

  • Really good funk and soul

    This is a collection of some of their early music and it is slow jammin' and danceable. If you like their stuff, this is a must have so you can drop it in the slot!
