Maxx Traxx [2023] - To Be With You [Numero Group]

A couple of weeks ago (15 Jun) Numero Group reissued five of six tracks from Third Rail's 1982 "Reaching For It" album. Third Rail evolved into (or from) Maxx Traxx and today they have reissued four tracks from  their 1982 self-titled album.

It actually looks like Numero Group is gradually building the full album as three of the four tracks on the latest release have accumulated with each release. i.e. they released the first track at the end of 2022 and then the second bundled with the first followed by the third with the previous two, so eventually it looks like the full album may be released.

This may please many as the original vinyl sells for up to £462 on the resale market with none currently for sale on Discogs.

One of the, so far, omitted Maxx Traxx songs was originally on both albums  i.e. "Living Without You" which was on the Numero Group's Third Rail release and another is "Let Me Love You" which was  also on the Third Rail release.

That leaves "Mainstream" from Third Rail and "You & I" and "Tell Me" from Maxx Traxx still to come.

Third Rail & Maxx Traxx [2023] - Just Had To Tell You b/w Let Me Love You [Numero Group] (Full Album)

A new digital release from Numero Group today from Third Rail is titled Third Rail & Maxx Traxx "Just Had To Tell You b/w Let Me Love You" but is in fact the first five of six tracks from their 1982 album "Reachin' For It" which sells for silly money. There is only one currently listed on Discogs priced at $909 (£780) and the last one sold for £553 in Oct '22.

Third Rail was a seven piece 80s group from Chicago who released this album as Third Rail and another self-titled one as Maxx Trax, both in 1982, along with two singles from it. 

This album is mainly boogie-funk with "Just Had To Tell You" and the ballad "Living Without You" being the highlights as they have lasted the test of time. It's OK but certainly wouldn't be tempted to shell out 80, never mind 800 quid, for it but now you don't have to as it's available digitally for not even a fiver!
