Sunshine Holiday
Deal With It

Review: Soul Brother present two sublime cuts by Carolyn Franklin, younger sister to Aretha, for their debut appearance on the seven inch format. On top of her significant body of work as a songwriter and background artist for Aretha and several other acts of the 60s and 70s, Carolyn Franklin record four solo albums and several singles for the RCA label. Rare groove heads favour Franklin's fourth LP If You Want Me in particular, issued in 1976 but originally recorded three years earlier, and Soul Brother have licensed two highlights for this 7" which demonstrate Carolyn's range for anyone not familiar with her work. "Sunshine Holiday" is a psyche delight akin to Linda Lewis' "Reach For The Truth" whilst "Deal With It" is pure funk.

Idle Hands (3:48)
Seeds Of Life (feat Eddie Palmeri) (5:09)

Review: Legendary bandleader Eddie Palmieri took a rare groove excursion from his Latin legacy in the early 70s for two albums as Harlem River Drive. Criminally overlooked, Soul Brother have dusted off two of the many highlights from his self-titled debut; "Idle Hands" is a sleazy, Gaye-style message with an almost spoken word quality to the vocals and a smoky wooziness to the horns while "Seeds Of Life" is a real end-of-set belter that rises and rises with tight orchestration between the guitar, horns and drums. Incredible... This can't be slept on this time round.

World In Crisis
Give Me Your Love

Review: Legendary singer songwriter Barbara Mason is represented in the finest fettle on this 1974 reissue. "World In Crisis" first appeared on her Transition album. Complete with warm harmonies and soft cinematic orchestration, her honey-toned sermons cut through the mix with a cool sense of dreaminess. "Give Me Your Love", meanwhile, is a fantastic cover of the Curtis Mayfield classic where here surging emphasis coats the groove with silky come-to-bed whispers. Stunning.

Review: Idris's fifth and perhaps most popular of his near-20 LP strong solo discography (that's not including the epic array of artists he's worked with from Fats Domino to Art Davis) Ranging from the heavily-sampled stone-cold soul stunner "Could Heaven Ever Be Like This" to silky disco funk such as the album title track and the sleazier "Crab Apple" to the frenetic jazz blasts of tracks such as "Camby Bolongo", this is the sound of a man fully committed to the craft and spirit of the groove. Nothing short of essential.

Review: The long-awaited reissue of 2005's completists' collection, Anthology: Messages reflects on Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson's finest collaborative works. Ranging from the genre-establishing, agenda-setting "Bottle" to the timeless poetry of "Winter In America", the pair's creative fusion sparkles with warm soul, stern messages and ruffled funk. Highlights include the fiery jazz horn blasts on "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" and the softer, soul poignancies of "We Almost Lost Detroit". With many of the messages still arrestingly relevant to this day, no collection is complete without this incredible compendium.

Review: Only 300 copies pressed of this classic Gil Scott-Heron heavy double sider on a limited dinked 45. "It's Your World" is Gil Scott - may he rest in peace - at his funkiest best with an upfront vocal over a driving sax and rhodes- those of you who have seen one or two Gilles Peterson's DJ sets down the years will remember this fondly. "Winter In America" showcases Gil's legendary poetic prose in a meandering, melancholic manner offset by rhodes and flute. Essential.

Review: The formidable combination of Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson sees new life on the Soul Brother's label with the reissue of Anthology: Messages. It's a similar transmission to Arista's 2007 release of It's Your World, and features loved classics "It's Your World", "New York City", "The Bottle" and a very special freeform rendition of "Home Is Where The Hatred Is". A superb release for fans of these two soul, jazz, and poetical dignitaries, and a great retrospective for those who came to learn of Gil Scott through his I'm New Here LP for XL Recordings. The revolution will not be televised.

Review: The original Mothers Records & The Snarf Company release of Spanky Wilson's 1969 sophomore set Doin' It has long been an in-demand item on the funk collecting scene. Happily, Soul Brother has decided to give the LP a warranted reissue. Presented in near identical artwork with the same killer line-up of tracks, it sees a then young Wilson wrap her ling-busting vocals around a range of hot-to-trot funk and soul grooves. Highlights include the soul singer's brilliant - and much-played - cover of Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love", the deep and evocative "Loveland", the raw torch song "That's What a Woman Should Give To a Man" and the rip-roaring heavy funk business that is "You". Also worth checking is Wilson's often overlooked cover version of the Doors' "Light My Fire".

As covered by the likes of Lou Rawls, "Ain't That Loving You" is heartfelt bluesy ballad with a sultry swagger and serious yearning on the choruses while the even rarer "Blues In The Night" closes the B on a super-tight floor-bound riff and gutsy delivery from Taylor. Both bonafide northern soul classics and confirmed rarities with both cuts regularly fetching triple figures, this reissue changes everything. For more reasons than one.

Cashing In (2:19)

Review: The Voices Of East Harlem were an ensemble of vocalists who for Just Sunshine Records recorded two albums under the direction of Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield. "Cashing In" is one of their most classic songs, a highly sought after track on original 7" fetches a small fortune on the collectors market. First recorded and released in 1973, it has all the hallmarks of a Leroy Hutson composition and an established audience that crosses the boundaries of northern, crossover and modern soul. The song is coupled here with "Take A Stand', another highly regarded and sought after modern soul room dance floor tracks, never previously released on 7" single until now

Review: Songs that make you go wow. Voices Of East Harlem's soul is the type of soul you've always known without realising. Built up from a community project, the 20-strong ensemble ran throughout the first half of the 70s releasing three albums full of super gutsy, heart-pumping soul, R&B and gospel. This 1973 self-titled second album is recognised as one of their strongest with crossover hit "Cashing In" gaining the troupe major attention. Written by Leeroy Hutson and produced by Curtis Mayfield the whole album from belting highs ("Just Believe In Me") to torch-bearing sentimental ballad lows ("Giving Lows") is a true soul treat. Essential.

Written by Leroy Hutson but softer and more emotional than their super gutsy previous, highlights include the Carpenter-influenced "Just Got To Be Myself", the slinky soaking funk of "Jimmy Joe Lee" and the sunset Marlena Shaw-style "March Across This Land". Beautiful.

Review: 40 years young: Wood, Brass & Steel's eponymous debut album enjoys a highly timely reissue and it still sounds every bit as funky ("Theme Song"), soulful ("Working On A Dream") and emotional ("My Darling Baby") as it did in 76. Complete with cult dancefloor hit "Funkanova" and the crossover disco hit "Always There", this LP has aged with real maturity and clout. Considering what the members did next (Tackheads, Sugarhill and Fats Comet) Wood, Brass & Steel was something of a supergroup in hindsight... And this album is where it all began.
