A great, self-contained, soul music collective that never got their just

due because of a spurious tax scam that was prevalent in the record

industry in the early to mid-1970s - the group known as Spice, and their

1976 LP “Let There Be Spice,” remained in obscurity without members

of the band even knowing that it was ever released until nearly 30 years

after the fact. Now, thanks to the sharp ears of his internet savvy aging

mother and subsequent interviews with Spice’s leader Richard Brown

Jr. – the full story of who this almost-forgotten band was, and what

happened to them and why, is finally revealed. Whatever transpired

business-wise should not obscure the quality of the music that resulted

in the recording of this album. The performances are impeccable, the

musicianship is top-notch, and the original songs in retrospect, were

way ahead of their time. As a special treat for rare soul music lovers,

this long-lost LP has been newly remastered for this exclusive release

and pressed on virgin black vinyl.
