C-Brand/Joe Simon

Limited vinyl reissue of two great early 80s rarities from Spring Records. Side A features Detroit boogie classic ‘Wired For Games’ by short-lived band C-Brand. Penned and produced by Dazz Band founder member Michael Colhoun with super-smooth vocals from Larry Ives, the track oozes quality in every note and understandably hit big both sides of the Atlantic on its release in 1981 and is still in massive demand today championed by cult DJs such as Sadar Bahar and Joey Negro. Side B heads more into disco territory with Paradise Garage classic ‘Love Vibration’ where Joe Simon’s steamy deep voice rides atop an intense grinding disco stormer from legendary ‘Philly Sound’ producer Norman Harris. Superb double header of must-have tracks.
