miles away records are proud to introduce our latest single to land on the label: the cosmic soul gem -super star- by ruth waters and the state of mind show band. a texas native, ruth -silky- waters was best known for her two disco-infused album s -never gonna be the same- and -out in the open-- produced by the late, great john davis (john davis orchestra). it was however some of ruth s early material that caught our interest when we started the label as far back as 2018. -super star-, released on the tiny independent kmba recordings label in the late 1970s, draws from the wells of modern soul and gospel with a touch of cosmic synthy goodness. an proper ear turner, it was like nothing we d heard before. flip it and -super star pt.2- goes deeper into the cosmic essence of the track with extended guitar and synth solos making this a crackin little 45. the track has been lovingly remastered by phil kinrade at the legendary air studios and the lacquer was cut deep by jukka at timmion records. it s now presented in our custom teal green labels and house bag.
after the first ep -the brazilian edits-, biga and mirko casalini are back on their label with a second bunch of edits from disco to afro and funk music.
