CD reissue. If one is to indulge in a bit of what is these days called 'profiling', one would probably have imagined that The Persuasions were a street band, too poor to buy instruments, who had come together in the mid-1950s, singing on street corners. Wrong! They were one of the leading lights of the Doo Wop revival in the late 1960s and this, their first record, were made under the tutelage of none other than Frank Zappa. Although it might surprise people who know Zappa only as a lightning fast guitar player, or a weirdo with a lavatorial sense of humor, but Doo Wop was one of his favorite types of music (together with the more unlistenable modern classics). He heard The Persuasions singing over the phone from a New Jersey record shop known as Stan's Square Records. The store's owner, Stan Krause, was the group's manager at the time. Prior to that time, The Persuasions had recorded several a cappella tracks for Krause's record label, Catamount Records. Zappa had an appreciation for soul and street corner style singing, and after hearing the group, flew them to Los Angeles to record their first album. The Persuasions were the opening act at The Mothers concerts at Carnegie Hall, 1971. Thirty years later, Zappa fan Rip Rense supervised and encouraged the group in the creation of a Persuasions tribute CD to Zappa, Frankly A Cappella on Earthbeat Records. This is an absolutely cracking album, and one which truly deserves a far wider listenership than it has so far. Listen to it, you will see what I mean, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this infectious music wins you over too.

Great for recovery
Flavor Name: Berry, Size: 30 Servings (8.0 Ounce) (Pack of 1)
Really helps with post work out recovery. I feel noticeably less sore when I take this after a workout. Definitely prefer the lemon flavor over the berry.

Great formula, but desperate for an unflavored option
Flavor Name: Berry, Size: 30 Servings (8.0 Ounce) (Pack of 1)
I’ve been incorporating Thorne’s Amino Complex into my daily stack, and from a nutritional standpoint, it’s hard to beat. The clinical dosing of essential amino acids is exactly what I’m looking for to support my recovery and fitness goals. Thorne is usually my go-to for purity and quality, and this product is no exception when it comes to the actual ingredients.
However, the flavor profile is a significant drawback. To be blunt: the flavors are just not good. They feel chemically and overly sweet, which makes it a chore to drink rather than a supplement I look forward to.
I would much prefer an unflavored and unsweetened version. Having the option to just mix the raw powders into water or my own beverage without the unnecessary flavorings and sweeteners would be a game-changer. If you’re sensitive to artificial tastes or just prefer a "cleaner" experience, the current options might be a struggle.
Pros:
High-quality amino acid profile.
Trusted brand with great sourcing.
Cons:
Flavors are unpleasant and too sweet.
No "naked" or unflavored option available.

Taste and Quality are Excellent!
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Size: 30 Servings (Pack of 1)
Thorne has a reputation for high quality products so I thought I’d try this whey protein. It tastes really good! I find it easy to digest, and it dissolves easily. I plan to make this my go-to whey protein.

Definitely sweet but good mixed
Flavor Name: Vanilla, Size: 30 Servings (Pack of 1)
The vanilla would be too sweet on it's own for me but with strawberries and spinach it's perfect.
