"Celebrating" the first reissue analogue!!!
One of Rare Groove's most important artists, "Hilton Felton", has finally released his "Family And Friends", one of the most important albums in the history of Rare Groove, and one of the most popular and rare albums in the history of Rare Groove, on analogue vinyl for the first time.
Experience the ultimate Rare Groove of "Hilton Felton", who brilliantly crosses soul, jazz and funk with the opposite sides of sophistication and sass!
The keyboardist Hilton Felton has a sophisticated touch that ranges from mellow to groovy on Family And Friends, a rare groove masterpiece on his own label.
The cover of the Jackson 5's hit number 'Never Can Say Goodbye' (A3) is one of the best among the many covers of this song, with Hilton's soft keys and light guitar cutting, followed by the galloping horns that immediately bring the floor to full happiness!
The Delfonics' jazz-funk cover of the classic 'La, La Means I Love You' (B1) is also excellent,
The opening number 'Family And Friends' (A1), with its superb groove, and the original jazz-funk number 'Spreading Fever' (A4), which is known to have been included on a very rare single disc,
Also excellent is the groovy soul of 'The Power Of Love (It's In My Heart)' (B4), with vocals from a young Angela Winbush and Hilton Felton themselves!
The album has been newly mastered for this reissue. Also release decision a super-powerful double-sider coupling two killer tracks, 'The Power Of Love (It's In My Heart)', which has never been cut as a single, and 'Spreading Fever (Part 1)', the original single of which is now at a premiere price.
