Exportations - Meet the Exportations (1978) United Artists (Vinyl Only Release) - Rare Soul (FLAC)

A quite brilliant & rare album, and a one off from this Detroit group who also only recorded a couple of 45,s. The only info i can find are their names which are Anthony Pilgrim, Bernard Gibson, Ernestine Johnson, Rick Gibson, Willie Gibson,yep 3 brothers were the backbone of this woonderful group who went on to change their name to Living Proof and recorded 2 studio albums before vanishing from the business. Shame it never made it to CD ? Only 3 clips on youtube which does not include their Northern Monster "Music",this really is a top drawer ,well polished, soulful album!

Ernestine Johnson? The back cover says Lucian Thomas. Sorry, it's my professional handicap talking. 😀
I'm a perennial pessimist when it comes to 70s, but that means I can only be pleasantly surprised. Thanks, AMM!
