Peter Brown is one of the ultimate in Harlem underground music business entrepreneurs. From the 70s, all through the 80s he had a stream of releases on a plethora of labels, but ultimately under the P&P banner. From soul, to disco to the birth of hip hop, he covered all the street sounds of New York and in a series of comps Demon are exploring his legacy.
P&P soul and funk covers the 1970s with a number of rare, sought after masterpieces and some equally essential obscurities.
From the former category we have the magnificent ESP by Four Below Zero, Dennis Mobley’s Rare Groove instrumental version of Superstition and Florence Miller’s soul floor filler ‘The Groove I’m In’ Super rare funk is present from Wild Honey, Smokey Brooks and Flame & The Sons. The roots of disco is well represented with Magnetic Touch’s original version of Ain’t No Big Thing and Ella Hamilton’s I’m Gonna Fool You.
