The S.O.S. Band [2021] - Just Get Ready (Michael Gray Remix) [High Fashion Music]

A new single from The S.O.S. Band "Just Get Ready (Michael Gray Remix)" is due for release on 26 Nov 2021. I was surprised to find it already being streamed on Spotify.

I think technically it's a re-issue as it was released in 2017 and remixed by Ben Leibrand with another mix by Micheal Gray, so I don't know whether this is the same Michael Gray mix or a new one.

UPDATE Just been told that it's a new mix.

The S.O.S. Band [1982] - Have It Your Way [Tabu #ZS4 03527]

A lovely, deep 'n sweet soul ballad by The S.O.S. Band from their 1982 'S.O.S. III' album, released as a single in US but not UK.

The group is from Atlanta and were originally named Sounds Of Santa Monica, they changed their name to S.O.S. Band (Sound Of Success) in 1979.  This is was their third album, but the first produced by Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis who had the 'Midas touch' in the 80s.

This album also includes, what I consider to be, their best record 'Groovin' (That's What We're Doin')', which did virtually nothing chart wise in US as it only appears to have been released as a 12" single, but reached #72 in UK charts. The 12" version is longer than the album version (below). It also has another great track 'High Hopes' (below)

Maxwell [1996] - Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) [Columbia]

Debut single from debut album Urban Hang Suite from 1996 and hard to believe that this masterpiece is nearly 25 years old and still sounds fresh.  An album you can just leave on and play on repeat.  My copy is well worn!

Here's the remix which samples S.O.S. Band - No One's Gonna Love You.
