THP album called 'Early Riser'???????

[Jimmy-Michaels]

In a posting I noticed there was an LP called "Early Riser" by THP before "Two Hot For Love". Is this the same LP under a different name or a whole different album? I know "Early Riser" is one of my choice tracks for play off the "Two Hot For Love" album. Please inform me on this.

I don't have the album in front of me, but as far as I can remember Early Riser and 2 Hot for Love are in the same album.

Nope. They are different albums. They have a couple of the same tracks that are found on Two Hot For Love, but they are different versions.



Off the top of my head, Early Riser includes covers of the "Theme From S.W.A.T." and "More". I think it came out in 1976.
