Napoleon Demps feat. Miriah Avila [2023] - Stranger At My Door [Industry Music Group]

The Fuller Bros. are best know to the Northern Soul scene for their classic "Time's A Wasting" on Soul Clock from 1969 (the same backing was used on The Whispers' Soul Clock single "Remember Me" the same year). However, their first recording, "Stranger At My Door", on GD&L in 1966 (also reissued on Soul Clock in 1970) has also long been popular. 

It has been covered by Napoleon Demps feat. Miriah Avila and released by Industry Music Group, so no doubt it will appear on 45 in due course, but what will they put on the flip?

Both artists have featured on the label and here previously. Demps with the superb deep soul cut "Remedy", he debuted in 2020 with "Norma Jean" on Daptone. Miriah Avila with two covers, Sweet Breeze / Mike & Margaret "Slow Change Up" and the Linda Jones classic "Hypnotized".

We have noticed that since posting "Remedy" a music video has been posted for it on YouTube, so have included it below as if you missed it first time around then you're in for a treat.

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).

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

More 'neo' lowrider stuff coming out of L.A. by Industry Music Group. The new single from Miriah Avila "Slow Change Up" was released on 27 Jan 2020 and is produced by Joey Quinones. As is de rigueur it's a 60s style soul ballad.

Whilst checking out her discography I noticed that her debut single in 2019 was a cover of Linda Jones' classic "Hypnotized" so have included it below.
