BBE records has been reissuing several albums from the Perception / Today
catalogue over the last week or so. The Eight Minutes "An American Family" was reissue and posted last week when this one was also reissued but we
didn't get around to posting it.
This one is the only album by Benny Johnson who was earlier a member of
The Spoilers who released a trio of singles on three different labels
between 1967-70. His album "Visions Of Paradise" was released by Today (which was run primarily by Patrick Adams) in
1973 and produced two singles.
The album has been long in demand on both the modern soul and two step
scenes in the UK and it's only reissue prior to this one was by London's
Soul Brother in 2007 on CD and vinyl. It contains the two step classic "I Just Got To Know" along with the title track, "Visions of Paradise", "Second To None", "Baby I Love You" and "Stop Me" all being in demand on the modern soul scene as well as many great mid
tempo tracks and ballads such as "Absolutely Positively", "Please Come Back" and "Wont You Stay". The songs were written by Edna Toles and Maurice Irby Jr. who wrote
five each and Today artist Julius Brockington led the band.

Beautiful voice and very good album. Too bad it's only made this one.
