The Winstons
Color Him Father
Soul Jazz Records (SJR LP497)
Release date: Feb 25, 2022, UK
Most people only know Washington, DC band The Winstons for the thing: the righteous drum break from their single ‘Amen, Brother’, which over the past four decades has become the backbone of countless hip-hop, breakbeat hardcore amd drum & bass tunes. That killer cut is not only featured on this much-needed first vinyl reissue of the band’s long out of print 1969 debut album, Color Him Father – a genuinely brilliant collection of emotive soul songs – but, on this limited-edition version, also included in specially extended form on a bonus, dubplate-style single-sided 12-inch. This fully remastered version of the set also includes four extra tracks, all previously issued as singles, making it the definitive version of a vitally important album.
