A taster and critique of rare R&B/urban music from yesteryear... there are no downloads here. For people wishing to hear the stuff I post, You Tube videos from my collection are available for a limited time and for any past posts you can (Listen here.) Sorry but I do not post full songs. Any samples shared are purely for demonstration purposes only. Most, if not all, of the things I post are out-of-print and follow the guidelines for Fair Use policies. If you want the music then you'll have to go out and buy it yourself. I do not support file sharing.
Everything I post is owned IN PHYSICAL by either myself or my co-contributors Stuaaart (US) and Lewsic (UK). I don't harass artists and producers for their unreleased work and I don't post blog freebies, trades or stuff that is available on iTunes or Amazon.
Rare cassette single by Ms. Lydia's only single featuring an elusive b-side track "When", said to be taken from her album "I Believe In You" which was not released. Produced by Surface, "Closer Than Friends" featured on a compilation "Life After Evolution (Realty Check)" along with many artists from the same label including male soloist Ruscola and a male R&B group or duo called Style who I believe are an earlier incarnation of these guys here.
