Brief Encounter [2022] - What About Love / Got A Good Feeling [Expansion #EXS027]

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.

In January Athens Of The North released a digital and vinyl compilation of  Brief Encounter "Brief Encounter Singles" which includes both of the sides of a new 7" vinyl release on Expansion.

"What About Love" was their fifth single release and their first on Capitol in 1976 having released all their previous singles on Seventy-Seven. Their next, and last, Capitol single in 1977 contained "Got A Good Feeling" as the B side (which also appeared as a longer version on their first album "Introducing - The Brief Encounter" (1977) on Seventy-Seven). Both songs were written by band members Gary (Bernard) Bailey (bass/keyboards) and Montie Bailey (vocals). 

Original copies of each record are currently selling for around £150-£200.
