The Brockingtons (LP 1972 Today - Digital 2014) - Rare Soul (MP3 72MB)

A very old album from this baltimore outfit led by Julius brockington Singer & keyboards player. This is all they recorded plus a solitary 45 though julius did record 3 great albums as a solo artist. on the old blog i did review the excellent "best Of Perception & Today Records" on BBE, might dig that out and rip an upgrade (when i find it). Back to this gem,makes a mockery of its years & was delighted to get a new digital copy with a few of the tracks extended compared to the LP. Dont know who the female lead is,not alfreda brockington although there were 3 sets of soul groups bearing this name in the Baltimore/Philly area. Another album i regretted selling. The tasters were played out at Blackpool mecca back in the day. Very rare album hence lack of youtube clips,again!

As far as I can remember I've only ever heard one record before by this group and I can't even remember what that was, just the name of the group, fantastic review AMM

Thought I had it, but I can't find it anywhere. I need to do an AMM tidy-up reorganization.
