So That Was 2007 Part II

Barbara & Ernie Prelude To record sleeve

Barbara & Ernie – Play With Fire (MP3)

The best re-issue of 2007? Well that might just possibly be Barbara & Ernie’s Prelude To…

Ignored upon its initial release in 1971, it’s rarity and downright ace-ness pretty much ensured it became one of those ridiculously rare, and of course stupidly priced, records much sought-after by the Psych and Funk and Soul fraternities alike. Thank you then to Fallout Records for making it possible for us mere mortals to own a copy of our very own on either compact disc or the most deliciously heavy vinyl I’ve ever hefted onto a Vestax Handy Trax.

A brooding, sultry cover of Jefferson Airplane’s Somebody To Love along with a further seven Psych/Soul/Jazz/Funk numbers follow the belter of an opening track that offers the sort of advice Charlie certainly wouldn’t approve of.
