Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the cult Soul outfit. The story of Mighty Fire goes back to the early '70s. It begins with a talented and promising young guitarist Mel Bolton signing to Motown as a songwriter and producer. He was put to work with Marilyn McLeod who had just moved from Detroit to be with the label's new operation in Los Angeles. Meanwhile trumpeter Harry Kim joined Stevie Wonder's Wonder Love band and played with all the biggest acts. Mel created an original line up of Mighty Fire with Harry and another eight members and in 1979 than five members of the group took a call from Carnell -Flakes- Matthews to be the group Flakes. Still Mel Bolton had ambitions for Mighty Fire, so took the reduced size five-piece ensemble to Elektra Records. The band were totally self contained as writers, musicians and producers. NO TIME FOR MASQUERADING was released, in 1981, then MIGHTY FIRE in 1982. They were among the last of the organic sounding live soul groups, yet 30 years later there is still a taste for this glorious music.
