Here are my two latest
acquisitions to drop through the letterbox.
As I opened the mailer
there they were, tucked up tight together between two pieces of card: two pieces
of vinyl, one containing the sound of Chicago, the other of Detroit - utterly
distinctive, both totally irresistible, the perfect marriage.
There was a picture of The Five Stairsteps 45 World of Fantasy here. But I have received a takedown request so the perfect marriage was short-lived I'm afraid.

You might have noticed
I’ve been overboard on The Five Stairsteps in recent months. The title of this
one might be said to aptly describe the state of GB, team and country, this
last couple of Olympic weeks.
Flaming Embers were
actually a white group keen to emulate the black soul sound of the day, and the
sound of Detroit is certainly perfectly formed here. Note the names Clinton and
Terry among others in the credits: sure fire marks of quality. (Thanks to Mr Finewine for
leading me to this one).

I love this band, but I remember seeing these guys on American Bandstand when "Westbound No.9" was out and being shocked that they were white. Really dig this track you've posted.
Thanks,
Ben
