A great, self-contained, soul music collective that never got their just
due because of a spurious tax scam that was prevalent in the record
industry in the early to mid-1970s - the group known as Spice, and their
1976 LP “Let There Be Spice,” remained in obscurity without members
of the band even knowing that it was ever released until nearly 30 years
after the fact. Now, thanks to the sharp ears of his internet savvy aging
mother and subsequent interviews with Spice’s leader Richard Brown
Jr. – the full story of who this almost-forgotten band was, and what
happened to them and why, is finally revealed. Whatever transpired
business-wise should not obscure the quality of the music that resulted
in the recording of this album. The performances are impeccable, the
musicianship is top-notch, and the original songs in retrospect, were
way ahead of their time. As a special treat for rare soul music lovers,
this long-lost LP has been newly remastered for this exclusive release
and pressed on virgin black vinyl.
