psychedelic deep soul of the highest order, symphonic four was a st louis based band (as was the original label zudan). word is the record was recorded in detroit, and the backing band was made up of some members of parliament/funkadelic which would make a lot of sense. a long time spin for deep soul head but deserving of a wider audience and that why we could not resist to pull this one from the now again catalogue, 500 copies only.

sometimes you have to put out a recdord for yourself. i first heard the east of underground lp from malcom catto in the jazzman records office in around 2000, after a couple of years i managed to pick one up for $100 from a soundtrack dealer who did not know what he had. now there is a few bangers on the lp but i have always thought is was the ballads that deserve the shine, so after a chat with egon at now-again i managed to sort out putting my two favorites on 45 for that end of the night slowy. hopeflly a few of you will enjoy this one also.

another aotn outing into deep soul space. you might recognise this track as mayer hawthorne s did respectable cover a few year back, as heads (mayer included) have been on this record for years. the new holidays massive maybe so maybe no is part of a strange club, some records only ever turn up in beat to shit, i would like to think this is because they are good but there seems no good reason collectors can fathom. there are many notable members of this club, belita woods magic corner, pure pleasure by my side and this record here. not only is maybe so a total banger but our minty new pressing from the masters is as good as it will ever sound. grown up soul.
