The Real Thing [2022] - A Brand New Day [Choice Records] (Full Album)

As alluded to in a previous post for their new single "Children Of The Ghetto", The Real Thing have a new album released today (28 Jan 2022) "A Brand New Day".

As well as "Children Of The Ghetto" they have also released another track as a single "Hang On, Never Let Go". As far as I can tell it hasn't been released before except for on a 2006 Outta Sight compilation "It's The Real Thing: The Singles Collection".

There are some nice tracks on this new album, along with the two singles, "Who", "God Help The Child", "Hope" and "Frontline", all of which I believe are new songs all written by Chris Amoo.

Eddie (Eddy) Amoo was a member of The Chants in the 60s whose claim to fame is that they are the only group to have backed The Beatles (they also did quite a good cover of Jackie Wilson's" I Get The Sweetest Feeling" in 1969 posted HERE)!   Chris Amoo was a member of  The Sophisticated Soul Brothers who were renamed The Real Thing by their manager Tony Hall in 1972 after seeing a Coca Cola neon sign in London's Piccadilly Circus. Eddie later joined the group and they went on to have a #1 UK pop hit in 1976 with "You To Me Are Everything" which was to be their only US chart entry.
