Active Force [2022] - Active Force [A&M #SP 4392] (Full Album)


Active Force were an 80s group who released just one single and one album on A&M in 1983. They were created by producer and songwriter Michael Stokes who wrote and produced songs for Sussex acts such as Bill Withers, Creative Source, Segments of Time and  Faith, Hope & Charity in the early 70s and then worked with Enchantment.

Their album appears to be highly sought after and has been reissued four times. Current original vinyl copies for sale on Discogs are priced between £80-£150. Therefore, you may be pleased that it has just been digitally reissued with an additional track which is an extended version of their only single "Give Me Your Love" which I vaguely remember from the early 80 as it was played in the clubs.

I personally don't quite know why it is so sought after, probably by the boogie/funk collectors as, apart from the single and the ballad "I Never Thought I'd Love Again" along with "My Sunshine", it's pretty mundane early 80s fodder.

The lead vocals on the ballad are shared between Adrina Steele (who later did backing vocals on Shirley Jones "Always In The Mood" album) and Victor Adams who released a solo album "Children Are Dying" in 1989.
