NJD Exceptionally gifted and insightful soul singer and songwriter who should have become a major star. Equal to Stevie Wonder or Bill Withers, in my [talking] book. Great to hear the two versions of the album side by side - though, personally I much prefer the First Versions without the buzzy synths/keyboards getting in the way of things. Now to get my hands on Spaced... Favorite track: Po' Man (First Version).

about

Athens of the North is proud to present Milton Wright's stunning alternate version of the now Classic Miami soul LP 'Friends & Buddies'. An altogether more stripped down, folky soul affair than its highly respected, much sampled brother is now available on Vinyl, CD and Digital for the very first time.

Shelved at the last minute then re-recorded and overdubbed, only a few promo copies of this early version escaped from the studio and are deep in the collections of the very few previously in the know.

The master tapes burnt in a fire at T.K Disco in Miami in the early 80s so even the label has not heard this in 30 Years. Many reissues of the second version of Friends & Buddies LP have come and gone, but Milton's original vision has remained hidden until now.

As searingly honest and stunningly soulful as any seminal Marvin Gaye or Terry Callier LP, it stands tall amongst its exceptional peers as one of the true pillars of quality 70s soul.
