WOOD, BRASS & STEEL - Wood, Brass & Steel (Ltd. 180g LP/Remastered) (LP)

From the original master tapes, beautifully remastered and pressed on heavy weight vinyl is this sought after 70s soul/funk album, the first of two being reissued on Soul Brother. Wood Brass & Steel features the much sampled tracks Funkanova (Black Science Orchestra, DJ Sneak, The Bucketheads etc), My Lady (Pete Rock), and My Darling Baby (Erykah Badu). In it's own right the album is a musical masterpiece from a golden era, particularly well known for the rendition of the Ronnie Laws classic Always There alongside the aforementioned tracks. Members of Wood, Brass & Steel include Doug Winbush who would later play with the Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash, Dayton and George Clinton alongside recording his own solo albums. He and some other members of the group would also later record as Brand New Funk.
