Love Your Brother (Sanctified Version By 1974, 31 year-old Weldon Irvine was ready for the next phase of his career. Having spent years working variously as a pianist, band leader, composer, arranger and road manager with the likes of Joe Henderson and Nina Simone, his breakout moment as a solo artist finally came in 1974, when he signed with RCA Records. Finally backed with a budget that could match his ambitions, Irvine’s first release was Cosmic Vortex, a sprawling, monumental work that embodied a mu- sician at the height of his powers. The result is an album that molds his jazz instincts for free-form improvisation to fit a deep funk aes- thetic, but also matched with strong, spiritual lyrics. He went on to release two more albums with RCA that continued to build on themes established here. Get On Down is proud to present the remastered version of Cosmic Vortex, featuring a dazzling new digital audio transfer from the original analog tapes.

Time After Time 4. Who’s The Funky D.J.? 6. Do The Handbone As a group, Herman Kelly & Life had a rela- tively short life span. Releasing only a single album, Percussion Explosion!, in 1978, the Miami-based band didn’t have as much immediate success as some of their contem- poraries. But with a single, inescapable song, they managed to forever become a part of music history. Their funky, upbeat single “Dance to the Drummer’s Beat” became one of the most recognizable and frequently used breaks in hip-hop history, used in songs by legendary artists like Run-DMC, Public Enemy, N.W.A., 2 Live Crew, Whodini and DJ Shadow, and was featured in the famed Ulti- mate Breaks & Beats series. Get On Down is proud to present Percussion Explosion! in a newly refurbished edition, featuring “Dance to the Drummer’s Beat” plus other hit singles “Who’s the DJ” and “Do the Funky Ham- bone,” with a new digital transfer remastered from the original analog tapes.

Final During the 1960s, Scottish-born actor David McCallum was an instantly recognizable face across the world, thanks to his star turn as secret agent Illya Kuryakin on the spy series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. But with the release of his second album, Music…A Bit More of Me, in 1966, he became recognizable for another reason: his signature sound. Working closely with famed producer David Axelrod and arranger H.B. Barnum, McCallum, who comes from a family of musicians, delivers lush, distinctly personal interpretations of clas- sic songs by, among others, artists such as The Beatles (“Michelle”), Petula Clark (“Call Me”) and Axel- rod himself, who contributes the original song “The Edge,” later made famous when sampled by Dr. Dre for his monster hit “The Next Episode” in 1999. Get On Down is proud to present this timeless piece in a beautifully restored edition, with audio remastered from the original analog tapes, packaged in a paste-on mini-LP slip case based on the original album artwork, with dust sleeve and obi strip in a clear plastic poly bag. The album also features a reproduction of the full-color promotional photo contact sheet which was included with its original pressing.

No Answer Came Famed New Orleans singer and pianist Willie Tee gives one of his finest ever performances on this classic release from 1969. Recorded under the guidance of Grammy award-winning composer/arranger David Axelrod, whose credits include Stan Kenton, Lou Rawls and countless others, I’m Only A Man introduced heavy orchestration and sweeping arrangements to Tee’s music, yet without sacrificing the emotional complexity of his vocals. Original compositions such as “Mirror” and the fantastic opener “Bring on the Heartaches” are balanced by superb cover versions of “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” and “People,” with some beautiful surprises (see the bold, cinematic sound of “Lonliness”) in between. Get On Down is proud to present Willie Tee’s classic album I’m Only A Man for the first time ever on CD, packaged in a paste-on mini-LP case with die cut obi strip and dust sleeve, featuring a new digital audio transfer from the original analog tapes and a bonus track, the non-LP single “Love of a Married Man.” FORMAT: CD • CAT NO: GET 53502 • LABEL: Get On Down • STREET DATE: April 5th TOWNSHIP “Vol. 1” 1.
