JM 074EP

Here is this incredible song at long last, with the blessing of Mark Capanni himself, as it should be -- the original 1973 version of the Jackson Sisters classic rare groove anthem "I Believe In Miracles," on DJ-friendly vinyl. Sublime Axelrod-style folk-jazz orchestration backs Capanni's carefree yet poignant vocals. This recording was completed and ready to go a full 14 months before the Jackson Sisters' version hit the streets, but despite this, it failed to make an impact -- too soulful for rock radio but not soulful enough for R'nB radio -- and the record was pulled. It was the Jackson Sisters with their full-on dancefloor funk that did the business, released in 1974. It's since gained legendary status, a musical definition of the rare groove era and with a multitude of versions and remixes. With original copies of the 45 practically impossible to find, this Jazzman release can only be described as being utterly essential to all DJs, dancers and music lovers, everywhere. In a stereo and mono mix.
