1983 Scandinavian pressing in beautiful condition.

This 1983 recording comes during that period when Nile Rodgers was recording solo records and producing music for artists such as Madonna and David Bowie. The production is decidedly crisp and contemporary with the compulsive early 80's hand claps, polyphonic synths, digital effects and early sampling (including the voice of Clark Gable) that will keep Chic fans begging for more. But the electro production is tempered by the high quality of the songs;the opening title song,"You Are Beautiful" and "Give Me The Lovin'" being fine examples. There are times here where Chic return to very organic territory such as on the pop-perfect "In Love With My Music", with its sing-a-long type hook.The same thing happens on the albums closing ballad "Take A Closer Look". On "Party Everyday" the band explores rap, a genre they helped to popularize through early hip-hops appropriation of "Good Times" but had never tinkered with themselves, and Chic's own contribution is definitely worth it. "You Got Some Love For Me" and "Show Me Your Light" show yet more very prominent pop influences: that of early 80's dance pop that grew out of what Chic did several years earlier. What that leaves Chic with, is that Believer finds them very successfully catching up with a generation of dance and funk singers and musicians who were once trying to catch up with them.
