Soul Brother Records released for Record Store Day 2017 one of the most elusive Soul LP’s of all time, a truly Holy Grail album. Susan Phillips ‘Soft Sexy Soul’ was recorded for Sylvia Robinson’s All Platinum label 1971, pressed in small quantities. Few copies have ever surfaced, it is so rare that many collectors doubt if it was ever released. However, a copy has just sold on Discogs for $20,000 (£15,500) and has still never been listed on Ebay. The album has that classic early 70’s New Jersey Orchestrated Soul sound. The album contains the in demand 2-step single ‘He...

Ezra Collective have become one of the most successful bands to emerge from the New London Jazz scene over the last decade, having won the Mercury prize with their last album ‘Where I’m Meant To Be’. Their forth album ‘Dance No One’s Watching’ is a joyous celebration of Jazz-based Dance music. Their sound encapsulates the sound of multi-cultural London, a mix of Jazz, Afrobeat, Reggae and Soul. ‘The Herald’, ‘Ajala’, and the cover of Fela’s ‘Expensive’ are full on funky Afro-Cuban beat dancers. ‘Shaking Body ‘ has an Afro-Cuban groove, and ‘N29’ and ‘Why I Smile’ a slightly slower, jazzier...
