{"product_id":"tomorrowspeopleopensoul","title":"Tomorrow's People – Open Soul","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep in South Chicago, a band of four brothers raised on doo-wop and flea-market instruments made a record during the mid 70s that did not only mark a seminal point in their youthful careers, but would go on to become a true collector’s favourite. Open Soul is quite simply one of the best examples of raw, stripped down soul in its purest form, and for this reason has become a highly sought after rarity.  - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/melodiesinternational.bandcamp.com\/album\/open-soul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTomorrow's People consisted of 4 brothers (Kevin, Maurice, Gerald, and Timothy Burton) from South Chicago, and the soul-funk group released Open Soul through Stage Productions in 1976. The record has since become a holy grail for collectors, and Japanese reissue powerhouse P-Vine has brought back the 5-tracker (feel free to check prices on vinyl marketplaces for og copies) with the original cover for the first time ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the conversation concerning the LP starts around the epic 20-minute title track, which apparently was not a written piece and\/or rehearsed. It begins with cosmic-soul vibes created by warm keys and guitar riffs, then around the 2-minute mark, the funk explodes with percussion, simple-yet-effective bass work, and the catchy chanting that gets at the burning question: \"What is soul?\" The answer lies in tunes like \"Lovers To Friends,\" \"It Ain't Fair,\" and \"Hurry On Up Tomorrow,\" but also, don't sleep on the funk-disco bump of \"Let's Get Down With The Beat.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/products\/tomorrows-people-open-soul-japan-pressing-vinyl-lp?srsltid=AfmBOoqFQTKfB0qarTNdi0f-9G1wLIiF8Ve_sq7Y7lXWNQYK_9ssaH-_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTurntable Lab\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1zfMeIpCbHvphLy5QkOzZ1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: P-Vine Records – PLP-7141\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeries: Groove-Diggers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReissued: 2021 (Original: 1976)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle: Soul, Funk, Disco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"P-Vine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456767926430,"sku":"4995879071410","price":30.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/6918655ed8299825aaea9b058af380fb456a4848.jpg?v=1646296644","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/tomorrowspeopleopensoul","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
