Miriah Avila [2022] - Slow Change Up [Industry Music Group #IMG 1025]


The latest vinyl release from Industry Music Group is a track released (and posted) digitally in Jan '22 by Miriah Avila "Slow Change Up".

It's a cover of a song originally released in 1972 by Sweet Breeze on Willpower which has been receiving spins on the UK Sunday rare soul sessions in recent years. I discovered 'another' version from 2019 by Mike & Margaret. To me they sound identical (what do you think?) and with the writer being Michel E. Felder, I wonder if Mike is Michael Felder and together they were both originally a duo or in the group Sweet Breeze who don't appear to have released anything else (under that name at least)?

Digging a bit deeper, there is a Michael Felder who was a member of Mike & Bill (Daniels) who cut a few singles in the 70s including "Where Do I Stand". Whether or not it is the same person I'm not sure.

The Sweet Breeze record is pretty scarce as none have sold on Discogs and only three are listed on Popsike the last selling for almost £350 in Jun 2013. Even one with a hairline crack sold for almost $400! The flip side is pretty good too, "Good Thing", a soulful, funky dance track (also included below).
