Carey Harris and Michael Orr recorded their classic rare groove album ‘Spread Love’ for the small independent Sunstar label 1976 , in fact the only known record on the label. Naturally the record was pretty much unknown at the time , but has gained popularity over the past few decades to the point where original copies now sell for £750. The album includes some key cuts like ‘Here I Go (Through These changes) a modern soul dancer , covered by Johnnie Taylor a year later on his ‘Rated Extraordinaire’ album. ‘Spread Love’ is a lovely uptempo slice of Jazzy Soul which sounds a little like it could be a Gil Scott Heron cut from the time., as does ‘You Opened My Eyes To The World’ another strong mystical cut. ‘Piece Of Mind’ is an uptempo instrumental with nice sax and vibes whilst the ballad ‘Feelings’ features the guest vocals of Bernadine Mitchell. Strong tiotaslly underground album , now given a 50th anniversary reissue.
