London’s redoubtable Soul Brother record store has just issued a clutch of collectable albums on their very own Soul Brother label. First there’s a trio on GIL SCOTT-HERON and BRIAN JACKSON … ‘Bridges’, ‘Secrets’ and the seminal ‘1980’. Fans of smoother soul will applaud Soul Brother’s two BARBARA MASON reissues. ‘Give Me Your Love’ and ‘Lady Love’ have both been licensed from Buddah and have been criminally neglected by the reissue specialists till now. Followers of the Funk can enjoy a twofer on MANDRILL – ‘New Worlds’ combined with ‘Getting In The Mood’ while WILLIE BOBO also gets the two for one treatment with his ‘Bobo’ and ‘Hell Of An Act To Follow’ making an excellent combination. Go to our reviews pages for a previously posted review of ‘Bridges’… reviews of all the others very soon on www.soulandjazzandfunk.com.
