American Generation by The Ritchie Family offers a focused listening experience that leans into an intimate acoustic ensemble rather than the disco-heavy sound the group is often linked with. Tracks like "Big Spender" and "I Feel Disco Good" weave a nuanced balance between energetic grooves and more restrained arrangements, making this album a curious entry for those interested in the group’s range beyond their dancefloor hits. The title track "American Generation" stands out as a reflection of its era’s social and musical shifts without resorting to flash. This 1978 vinyl pressing is a straightforward single LP that fits neatly into collections looking for something off the beaten path in late ’70s soul-inflected pop. The record is graded VG+, meaning it has minor surface marks and scuffs typical of regular play but nothing that should interfere significantly with the music’s clarity. It’s the kind of record that rewards a careful ear and suits listeners who appreciate the subtleties of a smaller ensemble’s dynamics—proof that not every Ritchie Family record is built for the disco floor, even if the groove is never far away.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
