Bobby Oroza - This Love / Should I Take You Home 7" [Big Crown]

Big Crown Records! Check out this overview and this single-by-single account by co-founder Danny Akelepse. Like Daptone Records, Big Crown has tapped into a classic soul sound without sounding phoney or like they're trying too hard. This is just solid soul in the grand tradition of soul... pushing the envelope a little, with all respect to the past. Great 45s to blow minds at home or in the club!

SLOW JAM SOUL SINCERITY FROM BOBBY O!

From Big Crown's Danny Akelepse:
This is a dope record. “This Love” is a big tune. It went crazy right off the bat. It had already gone crazy. This is a second pressing because Timmion Records in Finland had done a pressing, but they wanted to get Bobby to a bigger audience, in America especially, so they were open to looking at labels here. We changed the B-Side. Before we signed Bobby, I asked him to cover Sunny & the Sunliners’s “Should I Take You Home” and he did. It’s a tough one, but he killed it. We took their super dope first single and put their super dope cover of that super dope record on the b-side. These things do feed off each other.
