Archie Bell & the Drells: Where Will You Go When The Party's Over (Philadelphia International PIR 81567) ****

ALTHOUGH IT doesn't scale the polyrhythmic peaks of their last perpetual player, Archie's guys' second set for PIR is far more consistent than their first. 'Nothing', the latest single, is a fairly characterless dancer, and 'Beautiful' is a jaunty, Sigler-produced stepper that doesn't quite come off, a charge that can also be fairly slapped on the jerky 'Dancin' Man'. All are, nevertheless, both interesting and listenable.
