Brandye
Soul [[CD, LP)



A killer bit of female soul by a very short-lived group – one with a great sound that comes out of some real criss-crossing of styles – some deep soul currents, but some hipper modern soul touches at the top! The set was produced by Brad Shapiro, and has a good blend of his modern and southern styles of the mid 70s – similar to his work with Candi Staton – but it also features some impeccable arrangements from David Van DePitte, who gives the record a sweeping, swaying feel that buoys the vocals up on some really soulful backings. Titles include a great version of "How Long", plus the tracks "Mr Mystery", "You Accuse Me", "Rhythm Of Love", "One Woman's Trash", and "I Can't Weigh My Love". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I already have this from its original pressing. GREAT CD!! One Woman's Trash is terrific.

They did the backgrounds on quite a few Millie Jackson albums.

I've also got the original album here somewhere -- it was one of many 'lesser selling LPs' that found it's way in bulk to the UK in the 70's / 80's.
The story goes that LP's made good ballast for empty cargo ships plying the UK - US route during those times. Old stock LPs could be bought from US record warehouses by the box full for a few cents each and made convenient 'weighty ballast' that was easy to load & unload. Once in the UK, the boxes were sold very cheaply & their contents ended up in UK record shop 'cut-out' bins for 25p upwards [[ i.e. 4 for a £).
I picked up loads of great soul 70's albums & 12" singles from companies such as Atlantic, TK, Motown, Mercury, MCA, etc.
The above was just one of those albums.

Thanks for the heads up, lakeside. I also have this album. I will need to give it another play. I seem to remember liking it. I wouldn't mind picking up the CD.
