Anthony White [2023] - The Philadelphia Re-edit Sessions [Simphouse Productions]

The last set of Philadelphia Re-edit Sessions from Paul Simson was a little obscure, being five tracks from Charles Mann. 

His latest set from Anthony White may also be to some but not to rare soul aficionados as the five of the six tracks are from his highly collectible, and only, 1976 PIR album "Could It Be Magic" (named after the inclusion of a cover of Barry Manilow's song of the same name). 

The remaining track "Hey Baby" is possibly his most sought after, a single only from 1975 on PIR. It was written by Bruce Gray of Dunn & Bruce Street with Mikki Farrow who was married to saxophonist, producer and one time Funk Brother Mike Terry. She recorded a big Northern soul double-sider "Could It Be" / "Set My Mind At Ease" (Karate 1966) before moving to Philadelphia in 1968 working with Gamble & Huff as a songwriter and backing vocalist for many Philly artists. She later met Billy Butler, through working with his bother Jerry, and they married.

As is 'de-rigueur' for these edits, all recorded at the famed Sigma Sound Studios but less involvement this time for Baker, Young & Harris although Norman Harris did contribute along with Ron Kersey, Allan Felder, Ron Tyson, Bunny Sigler and Dexter Wansell amongst others.
