Luther [2024] - This Close To You [Primary Wave Music]

We reported some months ago that, at the behest of the Vandross family estate, two Luther albums on Cotillion were being reissued for the very first time. The first self-titled one, "Luther" from 1976, was released a month ago on 19 Apr.

The second from 1977 is heralded with the release of the title track "This Close To You" today with the full album due on 7 Jun, available digitally, on CD and vinyl. 

This one, we feel, will be more in demand as it contains the two modern soul gems "Don't Wanna Be A Fool" and "Follow My Love". 

The Cotillion albums have never been reissued as Vandross retained the rights to them when released by the label when the group was dropped by them. We bet someone's head rolled (or should have) when they saw the later success of Vandross in the 80s!

A 12" reissue of China Burton's one-off single originally released in 1979 on Logo was pressed by Soul Brother for Record Store Day 2024.  Soul Brother reissued it on 7" for the first time in 2022. The long version has been previously reissued on 12" in Holland by Kindred Spirit in 2010.

The Soul Brother 12" reissue is a carbon copy of the original 12" with long, short and instrumental versions of "You Don't Care (About Our Love​)" which now sell for up to £400.

The song was covered by Yam Who? Feat. Norman Anderson in 2007 (video below).
