70s Modern Soul / Funk 45 Record EAST WIND BAND Golden Groove RARE VG++
East Wind Band credited to Lawrence Gee and Vince Ebo
Songs - Read The Fine Print / Talk To Me
Very rare 45 record on Golden Grove label.
This group is virtually unknown outside of Sacramento but has a long and complex history. The group started off as an all-Asian American band in the early 70s but by the time of this release (their only one) in 1976 all the original members had departed and had been replaced by a mix of Asian American, African American and white members. The singer on this recording, Vince Ebo, had a viable solo career in the 80s and 90s before committing suicide in 1994. The trumpet player, Skip Martin, went on to big success in the 80s as a member of Kool And The Gang and The Dazz Band. There is actually still an incarnation of the East Wind Band playing shows in the Sacramento area but none of the players from this record are in the group still.
Grading: Borrowed from the idea of others as I'm not a record person: NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G.
I rate it at a VG++. There is a nice gloss and only a few tiny marks. In the sleeve with the record was this large sticker as well. It has an indentation from the record, but how many originals of those do you think there are?
