More Details
Top Drawer Modern Soul With An Irresistible Heavy Beat That’s Rare Rare Rare, Now Out On 45 For All To Hear! Another Quality Double Sider And With Billy Byrd's Throaty Vocals Appearing On Two Class Songs. Produced By Georgia Native Calvin Arnold, Known For His Funk Output, Perhaps It Was His Influence That Gave This Record Such A Solid, Intense Rhythm? Yes It's The Beat That Really Counts, Few Records Of This Nature Have Such An Incessant, Thumping Groove That Has So Much Appeal To The Dance Floor. Back In The '70s When It Was First Released The Record Went Nowhere, And It's Remained Extremely Scarce Ever Since. Why Such Low Sales? Was 'Lost On The Crowd' Ahead Of Its Time? We Certainly Think So, And Now Is The Time To Put That Right! !!! Limited Run – Only 500 Copies Pressed !!!

From The Far Reaches Of Buffalo, Upstate New York, On The Incongruously Named 'Cross-Eyed Bear' Label, This 2 Sided Gem Of Funky '70s Soul Was Perhaps Destined To Be An Obscurity. Not That You Would Think That On Listening To It, The Slick Production And Smart Arrangements Rival Any Major Release Of The Day. This Isn't So Surprising When You Discover That The Production Duties Were Actually Handled By The Team Behind High-Selling Jazz Fusion Outfit Spyro Gyra! Thankfully Aside From Sound Quality, This Shares No Resemblance To Those Pop Fusion-Ites, And Instead St. Clair And Her Band Deliver 2 Sides Of Delicious Groovy Soul, Perfect For The Broader Soul Dance-Floors Of Today. The Warm Bass, Crisp Drums And Sweet Rhodes Are Bound To Sound Huge On Any Decent System Too! Small Wonder That The Original Has Been Fetching Large Sums Recently. !!! Limited Run – Only 500 Copies Pressed !!!

For The First Time Ever We Have 6 Previously Unreleased Boogie, Disco And Modern Soul Grooves Recorded In The ‘70s – From The Man Who Gave Us The Immortal 'Bump & Hustle Music'! In The ‘70s, Tommy Stewart Was In Demand As An Arranger, Producer, Performer And Writer For A Host Of Soul And Rnb Artists. In Between Engagements He Found Time To Record His Own Work, And In That Time The Club Classic ‘bump & Hustle Music’ Was Born (See Jm12.016). Though That Was Originally Released As Part Of His Self-Titled Lp On Abraxas, There Were Many Other Songs Recorded During That Period That Never Made It Beyond The Confines Of The Studio. Recorded Onto Reel To Reel Tape, They Have Lain Forgotten In A Pile Of Boxes In His Atlanta Ga Basement, Slowly Gathering Dust Over The Years… Until Now! Roll On 30 Odd Years And Tommy Went Down Into His Basement And Blew The Dust Off Some Those Old Tapes. “just Going Through All Of These Tapes And Cds. Man I Never Imagined I Had So Much Music!” He Exclaimed, Before Handing The Rights To Us To Make These Dj Friendly Soul, Boogie And Disco Grooves Available For The First Time.

And As Usual This Soul7 Reissue Is Fully Licensed And Restored From The Original Master Tapes So It Sounds Great – Unlike What You Get From Shoddy Bootlegs! And In Keeping With The Spirit Of Collecting The Pressing Run Is Limited To Only 500 Copies Worldwide! Another Total Quality Double Sider, This Time Recorded By Claude Huey And Taken From The Fantasy-Owned Galaxy Label Out Of San Francisco. ‘why Would You Blow It' Has Been In Major Demand For Some Time, Not Surprising Given The Easy, Laid-Back Dancefloor Appeal - It's A Mid-Tempo Northern Mover Sure To Put A Smile On The Face Of Every Dancer In The Room. The Flip Side 'Why Did Our Love Go' Meanwhile, Is Held In Equal Esteem Amongst Aficionados Of Heartbreak Soul. A Deep-Soul Ballad Of The Down And Out, No-Hope Variety, The Song Contrasts Beautifully With The Breezy Feel Of ' ... Blow It'. The Original 45 Is A Pretty Tough One To Find, And Even Then There Is Major Interest And Competition, Given The Broad Appeal Of 'Why Would You Blow It', A Song Which Would Sound At Home In A Northern, Crossover And Perhaps Even A Funk Set. The Price And Demand Is Only Going To Rise, Making This A Very Timely Reissue Indeed. (Be Quick, All Other Releases Have Sold Out!)

Oh Yes! The One Everyone's Been Talking About, The Incredible Song That's The Talk Of The Internet, At Long Last, And With The Blessing Of Mark Capanni Himself, Here It Is As It Should Be, The Original Version Of The Jackson Sisters Classic Rare Groove Anthem 'I Believe In Miracles', Out Soon On DJ Friendly Jazzman 7" 45rpm Vinyl!!!

Sublime Axelrod-Style Folk Jazz Orchestration Backs Capanni's Carefree Yet Poignant Vocals On The Original Version Of The Jackson Sisters 'I Believe In Miracles'. Recorded In 1973 And Performed By Mark Capanni Who Co-Wrote The Song, This Was Completed And Ready To Go A Full 14 Months Before The Jackson Sisters Version Hit The Streets. Despite The Capanni Version Having Been Pressed Up It Failed To Make An Impact – Too Soulful For Rock Radio But Not Soulful Enough For Rnb Radio – And The Record Was Pulled. It Was The Jackson Sisters With Their Full-On Dancefloor Funk That Did The Business, Released In 1974 It's Since Gained Legendary Status, A Musical Definition Of The Rare Groove Era And With A Multitude Of Versions And Remixes. But It's Only Recently That This Amazing Original Version Has Been Discovered, And With Original Copies Of The 45 Practically Impossible To Find, Our Jazzman Release Can Only Be Described As Being Utterly Essential To All DJs, Dancers And Music Lovers, Everywhere! 7" Singles Offer No Hiding Place For Lame, Dull Or Weak Music.

One of the greatest soul records of all time and an album that we'd never part with! Gloria Scott only ever recorded this one full LP but that's more than enough, as the whole thing's a masterpiece produced by Barry White with the best of his 70s approach, and featuring songs written by lesser-known White protege, Tom Brock! Nearly every single cut's a classic a mixture of deep soul, mellow soul, and slight traces of funk all gliding effortlessly together with White's stone cold production, and Gloria's instantly captivating vocals.
