What a band, and what a time in Atlanta.......2006-05-17

During the time this band was popular, one could go to the Agora Ballroom in Atlanta and see a host of hot bands who were signed to major labels. Fortnox, Riggs, Swingin Richards, and so many more. The Producers were the best of the lot.Even today the question remains as to why these guys{ Producers} did not make it all the way. The vocals were unbelievable,and the musicianship was as good as it gets. I think this album is a little high, but quite frankly I don't care. I owe it to these guys for some of the best shows I have ever seen. Thanks for the memories, fellows. Buying this is the least I can do...

Power Pop; polished; sublime..........2006-02-06

Glad I got mine, 'coz look at the price of this baby. I think Van Temple and this core of rockers have been sadly underated. Every track here is tight, melodic, in-your-face rock and roll. The Producers gets most the raves, but You Make The Heat backs it up plenty. Many of the overlooked and underappreciated songs deserve mention. How can you NOT crank up "Who Do you Think You Are?", "You Go Your Way", "Sensations" and "The End"? This is awesome, rock-edged power pop, loaded with catchy riffs and skinny-tie attitude. "She Sheila" is pure powerpop brilliance, pubescently charged. "Operation", one of my favorites, showcases a bit of Van's killer guitar technique, plus thundering, heart pounding drums, all driving a storyline of heartbreak and angst. Cranked, you can't help but succumb to its emotional gush, as Van reminds us what it all feels like. "Dear John" is the reminder and the story to back it up. Superbly crafted rock songs, a perfect detachment from the hum drum corporate stuff that continually pours from the radio today. You'll be happy you gave this disc a few spins. Glad I got mine. ===MikeG===

Thank GOD!! The Producers on CD!!!.......2005-05-24

Having had the honour & privilege to open for this Atlanta-based quartet on two occasions are among the highlights of my 18+ year musical career, so I'm glad to see their first two LPs have finally been transferred to digital era.

Back in the early era of MTV (when they used to actually play music videos!), The Producers had three videos in heavy rotation ("What's He Got?", "Certain Kinda Girl" & the inimitable "She Shelia") & things looked very good for them. Unfortunately, a rather petty falling out between the band & a spiteful rep (who shall remain Al Teller) at Portrait Records cost them the brass ring after their sophomore -- & superior even to their excellent debut -- effort, which they've been paying for ever since.

The Producers, fortunately, are still very much a viable entity, although they generally don't travel very far outside their stompimg grounds unless they're performing for a private or special function. If you're ever in the Atlanta area, LOOK FOR THESE GUYS!!! It's a Power Pop feast you won't be sorry you saw. If you're not lucky enough to catch them live, get this compilation of their first two LPs, "The Producers" & "You Make the Heat". It won't replace the live energy of their shows, but it'll give the listener an extremely close approximation of how good these guys are, as there's not too terribly much lost in the translation.

(Then, go buy their finally-released "lost" album, "Coelacanth" -- but that's for another review!)

power pop?.......2004-12-24

Man, is this ever weedy. The polite 'quirky' pop-end of the new wave meets Utopia and the Police. A few good licks on the first record; good luck finding them though. If you're into digging through layers of unnecessary synths just to hear an electric guitar, then this is definitely the cd-set for you! Otherwise your money would be better spent on TRUE power pop artists like 20/20, Shoes, Tommy Keene, the Cars, Cheap Trick or the Plimsouls.

Some finely crafted pop diddies!.......2004-11-12

I must have listened to "You Make the Heat" about a million times in high school. Moreover, I saw the boys tour it in Austin, a great concert. I had always wanted to get the CD, but it was out of print. However, I was able to get this double copy at Borders about a year ago (not even) for like $10. Imagine my shock when I see it for sale for $90 in here. What the heck! Anyways, "Chinatown", "Dear John" and "She's Shiela" are just too good. Of course, "You Make the Heat" is the vastly superior album. I am going to treasure my copy. Forget that, who wants to buy it?
