Brand New [1976] - Thousand Years [Du-Vern #F-4176]

I would classify this as crossover/Modern Soul, but 'technically' it's too late for crossover as it was released in 1976, but it sounds to me very like the material Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose were releasing a few years earlier (1971-73) as it reminds me of 'Too Late to Turn Back Now'. 

The group is from Florida and the flip is titled 'Party Time' so you know what to expect there, a tune that could have been recorded by K.C. & The Sunshine Band!

This is their only release and there were only two other 45s on the Hialeah,FL label, the first by The Gospel Diplomats in 1975 (gospel obviously) and the last by Formula 1 in 1977 (funk/boogie) which was reissued by Athens Of The North in 2015.

In 2015 Athens Of The North released a compilation 'Henry Stone's Miami Sound (The Record Man's Finest 45's)' on CD and Vinyl. The vinyl issue included a limited edition (500) 45 of the Brand New single.
