"Continuing a tradition that began with Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, and culminated with Shaft and Superfly, Brotherman was a blaxploitation film set to hit screens in 1975. Prior to the script being finished, the producers commissioned an original sound track to be performed by The Final Solution, a fledgling vocal group from Chicago's west side. In classic Numero fashion, before even one foot of film was shot, the plug was pulled and the movie was cancelled. Dragged around for 30 years by songwriter, guitarist and arranger Carl Wolfolk, the tapes of his life's work have finally been mixed, and the soundtrack album has been augmented to include two orchestrated instrumentals intended for the film. Having no stills from the film to work with, the Numero Group tasked Minneapolis' Burlesque of North America to paint a cover that could withstand the scrutiny of any blaxploitation poster geek. The deluxe single disc set is housed in our standard slipcase, with a plush booklet detailing the known history of the film and the group that created the music."

Catalog #:	SHAD 077LP

First reissue of this 1967 garage rock album, recorded in Puerto Rico. Edition of 400. "Here is finally the album many garages were waiting for. This album is on almost all want-lists we have seen but never showed up. A mystery until now, very much like Mystery Meat years ago. Five guys and a girl recorded this album in 1967 in Puerto Rico. The album was pressed in USA on a private label. The musicians were fellow students at the university of Puerto Rico studying Architecture. Alexy Rodriguez, who was a musician of The Challengers and who designed the cover for Final Solution could not locate an original album to master from. Many years later a well-known collector had the luck of finding a near mint original copy which was the basis of this reissue. Really strong guitar and organ based garage sound, rough and beautiful at the same time. Mostly male vocals, all original 12 songs, English lyrics. Just great and so good we can solve another mystery."
