Posted last week but now available today (28 Jan
2022) is a vinyl and digital compilation of Brief Encounter's singles
released by Athens Of The North. When originally posted only twelve vinyl tracks were listed but in the digital edition there are an additional seven tracks making up the nineteen tracks.
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 on AOTN Bandcamp store and now also on Amazon.
