The debut album from Cynthia Schloss – a reggae singer who'd go on to bring a whole new level of soul to Jamaican music!

Rare Canadian funk from the 70s – played by a hip little group who've also got a jazzy flavor too!

TSG/P-Vine (Japan), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Not a spice girl – as you might think from the cover – but a great male harmony soul group from the 70s, and one who are equally well skilled on ballads and groovers!
