As if you hadn't already got it from the title, available from 28 Jan
2022 is a vinyl compilation of Brief Encounter's singles released by
Athens Of The North.
Brief Encounter were a group from North Wilkesboro, NC, formed in the
70s, originally as Sounds of Soul, who recorded through to the 90s with
various labels. They are probably best known for their classic "Human" but their albums are quite sought after with original copies of their only two albums fetching several hundred pounds.
Euen Fryer's Athens Of The North has been working with
band members Montie & Gary (Bernard) Bailey with several releases over
the last few years, culminating in this compilation of singles which
includes their rarest and unknown single when they were known as Sounds of
Soul. The group seems to have been largely a family affair with other
members Larry and Velmar Bailey along with Charles Graham, Fredrick
Alexander, Maurice Whittington, Michael Carter and Rufus Wilborn making up
their original nine piece line-up.
There are no sound samples currently available and unfortunately only the first two tracks are available on Spotify so I've
provided links to YouTube for all tracks to give you a flavour of the
album.
It's available to pre-order on
AOTN Bandcamp store
and will also be released digitally.
