The Moments - Baby I Want You / Pray For Me

In 1965, Freddie Perren and brothers Larry and Fonce Mizell recorded a promotional 7” with hopes of gaining exposure via local radio stations. Although the record went relatively unnoticed, the Mizell brothers would later achieve greater notoriety for revolutionising soul jazz music alongside their mentor Donald Byrd. This rare 45 showcases a little-known side of this musical team, resulting in a pair of sweet soul gems that provide some insight into the musical roots of this enigmatic combo. Both songs capture the youthful innocence of these gifted young talents, instantly evoking a timeless feeling of young love. Few original copies have ever surfaced, making this now an even more unique offering. This limited edition reissue from Wax Poetics is packaged in an attractive full colour sleeve and includes extensive liner notes by WP writer Ronie Reese.
