Having posted three new 7" vinyl reissues from Ace/Kent on Friday,
another couple have just been announced.
The first consists of two sides by Los Angeles duo The Classic Example (Curtis Colbert and
Harriet Hurst) who provided four of the songs on their only, self-titled,
album released on GSF in 1972. Another of their songs, "Right On", was left off the album and never got a release, but Kent released it as one side of a 100 Club 42nd anniversary single in 2021. As with most of
the limited edition 100 Club anniversary singles, it now sells for silly
money, so now you can acquire it at a reasonable price.
Only two tracks from the album made it to a single release, also on
GSF in 1972. The A side "That's Groovy" was co-written by William 'Mickey'
Stevenson with Vicki Basemore and Tom Nixon and recorded by Kim Weston on
M.G.M. in 1967. Interestingly, Stevenson's name doesn't feature on writing
credits for that release.
The album featured some top class musicians such as Wilton Felder (bass) and
Joe Sample (piano) from The Crusaders, Arthur Adams (guitar) and Paul
Humphrey on drums and Hodges, James & Smith & Crawford on backing
vocals. Willie Hutch contributes a song "We Got A Thing Going On".
The B side is a harmony ballad "I Found Me A Girl" from their album.
The single is available to pre-order now from
Ace/Kent
for release on 24 Feb '23.
