Ray Alexander Technique [2022] - Taking The Long Way Home // I Am In Love With You / I Wonder Why [Izipho Soul #ZP 79]


Back in Apr 2020 a Chris Bartley Discography was posted. So what's that got to do with this release you may well ask? Well one of the singles featured was with Ray Alexander Technique on Lu-Jun, which at the time I couldn't find sound samples for. Patrick Biggerstaff at Izipho Soul has just now 'obliged'  by releasing  both sides on the B side of the latest vinyl release on the label.

In fact, not long after the original post, Now-Again released an expanded edition of Ray Alexander Technique's only album "Let's Talk" which included the two sides recorded with Chris Bartley not on the original album. 

Ray Alexander Technique consisted of four musicians from Harlem: Ray Alexander Jenkins, Quinn Lynch (sax), Douglas Wilkerson (bass) and Holly Jones (percussion). They only released two singles, the title track of the album, along with an instrumental version on the flip, and the two sides with Chris Bartley. These two singles and the album are the only releases on the label, so presumably a private press hence the album commands around £500 and the second single around £600.

Yet another top drawer release with it being the first time on 7" for "Taking The Long Way Home" and both sides of the very scarce "I Am In Love With You" c/w "I Wonder Why". This will almost certainly sell out very quickly so you know what to do .. get your order in now at Izipho Soul for release on 17 Jun 2022.

This is an excellent edition and at the same time I advise you to listen to the superb album released in 1974 as well as this great soul man Chris Bartley.
