The latest digital reissue from Numero Group consists of both sides of a
1980/81 single by I.N. D. on Momisey Records.
The A side was included on their 1981 "Into New Dimensions" album but not
the B side "I'm Not Ready". The single is listed on Discogs but not 45Cat
indicating that it may be quite scarce and the last one to sell on Discogs
went for £120. It's not dated but must be from around the same time, perhaps
a year earlier which prompted the album? The only other release listed for
the Momisey label is an album by Lannie McMillan in 1981.
I.N.D. were a nine piece band consisting of Cornell Monroe
(trumpet/flugelhorn), George Lloyd (sax/flute), Lee Holloway (lead guitar),
Michael Mills (rhythm guitar/vocals), Christopher Mills (bass guitar),
Darron Farmer (keys), Elmer Caldwell (drums), Eugene Gillis (trumpet) Quincy
Ford (alto sax/flute).
They recorded just one album in 1981 which was recorded at Pumpkin Studios,
Oak Lawn, IL where prog rock band Styx also recorded, for Erect, which was
based in Merriville, IN, so I originally thought that their name, I.N.D., may have had something to do with Indiana but no it stands for Into New Dimensions. The single here was released on Momisey
Records which was based in Memphis.
The track listing for their album alternates between funk tracks and sweet
soul ballads. The top side here is a funk tune "You Just Be You" with a nice sweet soul ballad/stepper flip "I'm Not Ready".
