  • "Arnold Blair's seminal Chicago soul track, first surfaced in November 1975 via LeRoy Hutson’s boutique label, Gemigo Records. The song—a collaborative writing effort between Blair and Hutson, who also handled production and arrangement—perfectly bridges the gap between early-70s orchestral soul and the polished, mid-tempo 'modern soul' that would later take the soul scene by storm. Despite failing to make a commercial impact in America upon release, the record eventually transformed into a highly coveted holy grail for UK DJs, rare groove collectors, and soul fans globally. On the flip, a track Recorded in 1975 during the exact same studio sessions as his legendary rare groove gem, Arnold Blair’s 'Finally Made It Home' stands as one of those unearthed treasures in Chicago soul history. Orchestrated and masterminded by Hutson for his Triumph Records production company, the track sat unreleased in the vaults for over forty years. When Russell Paine’s archival label Super Disco Edits officially pressed it to a 7" vinyl single in October 2016, it instantly captured the hearts of soul purists. These two masterpieces are finally sharing the same piece of wax on a brand-new 7-inch single." - Home Of The Good Groove Records
