Wewantsounds presents this reissue of Billy Brooks' much sought-after album
'Windows Of The Mind', released in 1974 on Ray Charles' Crossover Records. It
includes one of the most famous samples in hip hop history in the form of 'Fourty
Days' which forms the backbone of A Tribe Called Quest's 1990 anthemic "Luck of
Lucien". Newly remastered, the reissue comes with original artwork.
