Released by Stax in 1981, while the Staple Singers were on the 20th Century label, This Time Around is based on unreleased material from '70s sessions. Extensive overdubbing was done for the sake of sounding up to date, but almost all of the new elements -- including atmospheric synthesizer flourishes, synthetic handclaps, heavy-ish art-rock guitar, dehumanizing treatments to the vocals -- does not suit the material. The set is not without some high points. "Trippin' on Your Love," somewhere between Sylvia's "Pillow Talk" and something by Ronnie McNeir -- one of two songs written by Prince Phillip Mitchell -- grooves sweetly. "If It Wasn't for a Woman," presumably handled with little or no additional touches, is a strong ballad. Much of what remains had been shelved for good reason, likely because it couldn't make the cut for excellent albums like The Staple Swingers and Be What You Are. This is definitely for serious Staples fans only. The 2013 reissue features detailed liner notes.
