│║ This 1974 LP has been re-issued by Ubiquity Recordings, Inc in ║│
│║ 1999 on the sub label Luv n' Haight LHCD033 / LHLP033. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ ║│
│║ 1974. One of the last great years for funk music. Real funk ║│
│║ music. Raw and gritty. The way it's supposed to be. Funk was the ║│
│║ peoples music, played in BBQ joints and dive soul brother bars. ║│
│║ It was music aimed directly at the ass. With the exception of ║│
│║ George Clinton and a select few, funk went into hiding during the ║│
│║ late seventies disco craze. Forward 25 years later, and ║│
│║ enthusiasm for the funk phenomenom is stronger than ever. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ One look at the cover art for the newly re-issued Turner Bros. ║│
│║ album "Act 1," will quickly clue you to the fact that this is no ║│
│║ light weight one-track wonder soul album, but rather a sweet and ║│
│║ funky long player, brimming with funky bass lines, oo-wee vocals, ║│
│║ fat breaks, and afros. Lots of afros. And yes, it was recorded in ║│
│║ 1974. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Brought to our attention by DJ Sureshot of the seattle based ║│
│║ Sharpshooters, the Turner Bros. album is a highly collectable ║│
│║ slab of wax that is so unbeleavably rare, that even hardcore funk ║│
│║ collectors are not familiar with it, or may have only heard it ║│
│║ rumored to exist. So, Luv N Haight, America's premier jazz, funk, ║│
│║ and soul re-issue label comes to the rescue. The album has been ║│
│║ given a face-lift by way of re-vamped cover art, and a digital ║│
│║ remaster from the original tapes. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Need proof of the booty-juice? Drop the needle (or lazer, ║│
│║ whatever the case may be) on "Cause I Love You," and "Sound of ║│
│║ the Taurus". Need a funky drum break? Check "Sweetest Thing in ║│
│║ the World". It's all there. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Originally from Columbia, South Carolina, the blue print of the ║│
│║ Turner Brothers was laid out in 1955 when leader Calvin Turner ║│
│║ was but a tot in his family's gospel group, titled The Turner ║│
│║ Singers. The Turners relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1963, ║│
│║ and local gigging and a strong repuation brought them to the ║│
│║ attention of Chess Records, where they released a number of well ║│
│║ received doo-wop singles. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Eventually, in an effort to keep up with the times, the Turner ║│
│║ Brothers revamped their sound, and at one point they were the ║│
│║ biggest soul act out of Indianapolis, having toured with the ║│
│║ likes Rufus Thomas, Tavares, Chi-Lites, Ohio Players, and many ║│
│║ other major acts in soul music. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ "Act 1" was originally released on their own label and was a huge ║│
│║ local success, earning the brothers a level of respect that they ║│
│║ still receive in Indiana today. Eventually the band ║│
│║ disintegrated. Today most of them are preachers and deacons, ║│
│║ electricians and accountants. All are flattered that once again ║│
│║ their music is being exposed, this time to a new and eager, funk ║│
│║ hungry audience. ║│
│║ ║│
│║ ║│
│║ Remember to support these artists by some method if you like them ║│
│║ by going to their concerts / buying more of their material / etc. ║│
