Oh yeah, just two more days until our latest release, Our Live Are Shaped By What We Love: Motown’s Mowest Story 1971-1973, drops! We’ve got some special announcements this week, so be sure to check the blog out daily. For now, run out and pick up the June (#328 with Battles on the cover) issue of The Wire for an excellent review of the anthology:
“[...] an Apollonian synthesis of Soul and Funk, with a dusting of West Coast rock. [...] exquisitely compiled.”
Mark Fisher, The Wire
