Olympic Runners - Out in Front (London) '1975 Front Cover Art
Второй альбом Olympic Runners. На мой взгляд, не самый их лучший релиз. Звучание сильно смещено в сторону диско, аранжировки мелодичные и неакцентированные. Помимо фанки грувера, с грубым мужским вокалом «Drag It Over Here» и диско-фанк инструменталки Go No Further всё какое-то размазанное и незапоминающееся. Одним словом диско 
Имхо, самая сильная сторона альбома — это его обложка
Having made a good, if nearly unnoticed, start with 1974′s Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is LP, the Olympic Runners swiftly bounced back the following year with an admirable sophomore effort, Out in Front. Keeping their initial funk intact, the band also tapped into the still-simmering disco sound to unleash a set blistering with good intentions, effectively continuing to build on the rock-solid foundations that would allow them to become unerringly prolific throughout the decade. From the opening «100 Yard Dash,» through «Drag It Over Here,» and on to the dancefloor groovers «Freeze on Funk» and «Dump the Bump,» the Olympic Runners’ sound was consistent, catchy, and completely funk-fueled. With Mike Vernon’s outrageous percussion and the vocal one-two punch of George Chandler and Pearly Gates, it’s surprising that this album, or at least a couple of singles, failed to make any mark on the U.K. charts, all the more so since 1975 brought keyboardist Pete Wingfield his monstrous solo hit «Eighteen With a Bullet.» Ultimately and oddly, that didn’t help the band break through. It would be another couple of years before the Olympic Runners finally lit their mainstream flame. But they remained justifiably proud of Out in Front, an album that would remain one of the great groovers’ secrets of the age. AMG Review by Amy Hanson
Musicdawn Comment: Second Lp by Olympic Runners and definetely not their best album. Disco-funk, most tracks sounds very similiar to each other. Best Cuts are hard funk «Drag It over Here» and instrumental disco funk «Go No Further». And Of course Ohio Players cover art rulezz!
