Revelation
We’re living in
Am I dreaming?
Who is gonna protect us now?
Right back to color 
Blacks depreciate
If we’re not careful
We’ll be back segregated

Change for the better of your soul

We gotta change my love 
We gotta change for the world 
I got to give you my love
If you don’t know me by now just check yourself

I ain’t afraid to love you
See I come with open arms
Stop hiding behind religion
Hate is poison in the blood 
Heaven is crying, the world is shaking
God is unhappy, the moon is breaking
Blood is spilling, God is coming

What are you gonna do
Shout them loud. Take this love
Put away the gun and take this love
We gotta change my love 
We gotta change for the world 
I got to give you my love

Change the false pretense
Change the hate in you

We gotta change our love 
We gotta change for the world 
I got to give you my love 
Changing, changing, changing for this world
All over the world
Change

Charles Bradley - Change For The World

Reissued on heavyweight 180g vinyl: https://www.bbemusic.com/downloads/11291/

We are both proud and excited to present this highly sought after early 80's gem, originally created as a showcase project for young artists and composers by a community music organisation in Texas.
Originally referred to as the 'Pop Music Lab', the Peoples' Workshop was formed in 1976 at Texas Southern University as a space for students to compose and perform, free from the constrains of Western classical music education.
Swiftly gathering momentum, in 1980 the organisation was granted non-profit status and in 1983, moved off the TSU campus. The Workshop has since grown in size and scope, becoming the first Black-founded organisation to present shows in major performance venues around the Greater Houston area.
Houston Talent Expo '82 features original compositions by members of The Peoples' Workshop, performed exclusively by musicians from Houston. The songs vary in style, but remain centered around gospel, funk and soul; music and lyrics with a powerful positive message. Many of the artists featured remain active today around the world, working with such acts as Alice Coltrane and The Charles Mingus Band among others.
Houston Talent Expo '82 comprises a truly special collection of songs born from the struggle, true to the spirit of togetherness that underpins The Peoples' Workshop, written and performed by astonishing young talents.

Everyday Killers

https://BBEmusic.lnk.to/MoodsMoods
Continuing our tradition of unearthing hidden treasure, we are excited to present another rare classic, pressed to heavyweight vinyl. 'Moods' was the self titled debut (and only) album from a local St. Louis vocal group headed up by band leader, musician and producer Melvin Turnage. The group met in high school and disbanded soon afterwards, although Turnage is still touring with his own band, performing alongside Harry Belafonte, Shalamar and Sammy Davis Jr. over the years.
Originally released in 1978, 'Moods' is a fantastic example of the 'Modern Soul' sound which bridged the gap between Northern Soul and Disco, introducing synthesisers alongside incredibly tight vocal harmonies and lush instrumental arrangements. Only a tiny number of copies are still in existence, making this LP highly sought after by record collectors. With a track from the album featured on BBE's recent 'Private Wax Vol.2' compilation which garnered support from Gilles Peterson among others, it's surely time for this gem of a long player to be discovered by a new generation of crate diggers.

Craig Charles playing Little Hurricane 2012-05-19

Craig Charles plays Mr. Confuse "Boogie Down featuring Benjie" on his show on BBC6 and reads the liner notes he had written for the album "Do You Realize"! 

Liner notes of Craig Charles from the Mr. Confuse album "Do You Realize":

     It has been a while since I have heard what Mr Confuse has been up to, but the time has obviously not been wasted, this is simply a marvellous follow up to what was already a cracking debut set in the shape of “Feel The Fire”.

    I have to say that what I really admire about this set is how much he has moved away from the sample driven jams that were the trademark of his debut set and into songwriting proper. Given that and his perfect ear for a groove and his seemingly insatiable thirst for influences from across the globe from The Balkans to Asia to Memphis, this album was always going to promise a lot and it certainly delivers.

    And above all this is a labour of love. You do not undertake the Herculean task of assembling 23 musicians together unless you have a clear vision and belief in your sound and that is evident in every single track on the album. The sound is HUGE and very very addictive!

Special mention has to go to his reworking of the Man Parrish electro anthem “Boogie Down (Bronx)”. It takes a man of real vision and courage to take this well-loved tune down Nigeria-way and transform into an Afro-Funk monster. If you liked his version of “Planet Rock” when he was part of the Breakout crew then you are in for a real treat, because this is massive.

Congratulations Mr Confuse, once again you have stepped up to the challenge of finding your own path and passed with flying colours."
