The original vinyl LP goes for as much as $295 on Discogs, but for the first time LITA reissues "Black Soul Brothers" by Miguel de Deus. This 2017 repress comes with the great contribution of Miguel de Deus’s family in São Paulo, that supplied the amazing collection of photos for the 4 pages inner, inside the LP.
This limited edition is a highly collectable for fans of Brazilian soul, groove and psychedelia. It’s our contribution to pay respect to one of the most important Brazilian musicians of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Main brain of bands like OS BRAZÕES and ASSIM ASSADO, he left us an amazing legacy for new generations. This is a small, but more than deserved homage to him, finally.
Miguel de Deus was the protagonist of this amazing Afro-Funk movement, together with a group of “heavy” musicians, as they were called in those days of consolidation of a strong Black Power scene, mainly composed of black youth from the outskirts of the suburbs of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where the movement took the name of Black Rio. Its raw Rock-Funk-Psychedelic-Tropicalia.
Get loose to the sounds of Around The Web In Breakbeats as 17 artists lend grooved grease to your bones and ligaments. With a diverse selection of Funk and Soul, this 21st volume of new generation breaks features the skillful drum sample isolation of K-Def, original breaks by Pat Van Dyke, frantic rhythm by drummer Ronald Bruner Jr and more.
Amber Navran's distinct sound shines a remarkable ray of light in the world of music with beautiful harmonies that are soothing for the soul. As the lead singer of "Moonchild" Amber encourages us to find the happiness within on her solo EP "Speak Up". Amber came on the Talk Easy show to discuss her musical influences, performing with Stevie Wonder, and what it looks like to be a working musician in 2017. Enjoy a deeper look into a movement of music which conveys extreme positivity and love as the Moonchild sound forges new possibilities in the path of neo-Soul.

"Moloch’s self-titled album is an outlier in the Stax catalog with its combination of rock, hard blues, psychedelic acid-washed guitar solos, and blue eyed soul. But despite the band members’ abbreviated time together, Moloch remain influential in the Blues world, and, even more so in Memphis lore. In his liner notes, Bob Mehr writes, "the legacy of the band is bigger than a single song.
Over the decades, the LP became a totem for guitarists and blues seekers alike, for whom Moloch remains godhead.” Mehr goes on to praise the band’s late guitarist, Lee Baker, declaring that "Baker’s work continues to exert a profound influence on a generation of Memphis guitar players. The Moloch LP served as a touchstone for the North Mississippi Allstars’ Luther Dickinson and the Hold Steady’s Steve Selvidge, among other acolytes.”
The reissue of Moloch is part of a wide-ranging, year-long initiative, celebrating Stax Records’ 60th anniversary. The cross-label collaboration between Concord Music Group and Rhino Entertainment will highlight the hits, deep cuts and rare tracks from the Memphis label’s heyday of the '60s and ‘70s." - Concord Records
