Today was a very exciting day! National Public Radio’s All Things Considered program featured a 10 minute spot on Jim Sullivan’s story and his music, focusing on our new reissue of his 1969 lost masterpiece, U.F.O.! Light In The Attic’s Matt Sullivan was interviewed for the segment and he shared his story of discovering Jim and his music. It’s so great that some 40+ years after its creation, Jim’s music is finally making its way out to the world (in a big way)!

Check out the full segment — “Jim Sullivan’s Mysterious Masterpiece: U.F.O. — on NPR’s website HERE!

Aaaanyway, the always excellent Oliver Wang (who wrote the notes for our Betty Davis reissues and who also writes the essential Soul-Sides site) reviewed Our Lives Are Shaped By What We Love on NPR’s All Thing Considered.

Check out the full review and listen to the 5 minute spot too: “The Strange Sound Of Motown’s Early Hollywood Years” on NPR’s All Thing Considered!
