Honey & The Bees
Love (honey Vinyl)
One of the great, lost albums of Philly Soul! And we mean really lost. We had to go to Italy and pay close to 500 euros
to snag a copy for artwork. Jean Davis, Gwen Oliver, and Cassandra Wooten were known as The Yum-Yums when they
auditioned for Arctic label founder Jimmy Bishop, who re-christened them as Honey and the Bees and added Nadine Felder
to the line-up as lead vocalist. After Arctic folded, they moved to the Jubilee imprint Josie, where they recorded this
1970 gem. With a name like Honey and the Bees, itll come as no surprise that Love is pure, sweet soul, and it's the
Philly Sound through and through, with arrangements by greats like Norman Harris, Ronnie Baker, and Bobby Martin. The
medley of Teddy Randazzo tunes culminating in a gorgeous rendition of the Royalettes hit "Its Gonna Take a Miracle" is
the highlight, but the whole record is pure magic, so good that we enlisted Mike Milchner of Sonic Vision to remaster it
for vinyl to ensure that every note breathes and sings. First ever LP reissue, pressed in honey colored vinyl limited to
2000 copies!
